What it does
In-GUI skill hub for dsh: browse, search, enable/disable, inspect, diagnose and scaffold local skills from the official ctx.skills registry
Works — verified, growing community
In-GUI skill hub for dsh: browse, search, enable/disable, inspect, diagnose and scaffold local skills from the official ctx.skills registry It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It has a growing community — a solid choice.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.
README
dsh-skill-hub
In-GUI skill hub for DeepSeek Harness — browse the full ctx.skills catalog, toggle skills, inspect bodies, fix discovery issues, install from the market, and scaffold new ones.
Host runs in the dsh process via official SDKs only; browser renders through official slots. No dsh source changes.
Quick start
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-skill-hub
# restart dsh web → Settings → 技能 → Market → scan → import
Requires Node ^22.19 || >=24 + dsh web >=0.1.7-alpha.1 <0.3.
Two surfaces — the hub panel lives at Settings → 技能, and this plugin's own configuration card sits on the plugin's page in the Plugins manager (sidebar → 插件 → dsh-skill-hub). The card is registered by the plugin itself into the plugins.bundle.config slot — dsh has no auto-generated config page — and covers the master switch, announce-to-agent, dot colors, usage display and the stats window/interval.
Features
Settings → 技能 — 3 tabs: Sources (skills, flat/grouped + project tree), Scenes (custom tag groups), Market (install + update).
- Browse — every root of the
ctx.skillsregistry: project / user / bundled + third-party providers. Search across name, description,displayName; filter by source and invocation (model / user); sort by name, added time, or usage. Same-name skills from different sources get a duplicate badge instead of silently hiding. - Toggle — per-skill switches and per-group tri-state switches with a conflict dialog (close all / keep on). Disabling renames the discovery file (never deletes); disabled skills stay inspectable and re-enableable from their detail page. Only
~/.dsh/skills&~/.agents/skillsare writable; everything else is read-only. - Organize — scenes (tags) plus auto-aggregated source collections, all drag-reorderable and persisted in
~/.dsh/dsh-skill-hub.json. Edit mode reveals delete/reorder without cluttering the read view. - Diagnose & fix — files the provider skips (missing frontmatter, bad YAML, name mismatch, short description) show up with reasons; auto-fixable ones (e.g. unquoted
:in descriptions) get a one-click Fix button. - Scaffold — new-skill wizard writing to
~/.dsh/skillsor~/.agents/skills(SKILL.mdtemplate below). - Market — built-in curated repos plus custom
owner/reposources. Any top-level directory containingSKILL.mdscans as a root (no allowlist), and aSKILL.mdat the repo root itself scans as a single skill named after the repo (minus repo tooling such as.github/). Async import with byte-level progress and cancel. Each source pins a version — click the ref badge to switch between releases, branches, or a custom ref. - Track updates — imported skills record a repo + commit snapshot. Check all / update-all, per-source badges (installed / updatable / deleted upstream / new release). Sync overwrites local edits (with confirm); upstream deletions move into a restorable trash that keeps source and scene membership.
- Stats — per-skill call counts + last-used times from session logs (incremental cache), group summaries; window and scan interval live-configurable from the settings card.
- Settings card — registered on the plugin's own page in the Plugins manager (sidebar → 插件 → dsh-skill-hub; collapsed until you expand the title): master switch, announce-to-agent, invocation dot colors, usage display toggles, stats window/interval.
Why not just the read-only browser?
dsh-skill-manager browses, dsh-skill-importer / dsh-find-skill import. This plugin manages.
| Capability | read-only browser | dsh-skill-hub |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | user roots, self-scanned | ctx.skills registry, all roots + third-party |
| Toggle | ❌ | ✅ per-skill + per-group, never deletes |
| Diagnostics | ❌ | ✅ reasons + one-click fix |
| Market | ❌ | ✅ built-in + custom, version pins, update-all |
| Source tracking | ❌ | ✅ check/sync/trash with restore |
| Stats | ❌ | ✅ counts + last-used |
Scaffold format (SKILL.md):

How it works
GitHub repo ──scan/import──▶ ~/.dsh/skills

Host uses only ctx.skills.snapshot/get, ctx.webServer.register, ctx.systemPrompt.section. Loopback-only routes (127.0.0.1/localhost), JSON.

npm test # 254 tests, 14 suites
npm run build # tsc + tsdown → lib/index.js + lib/client.js
Don't run two
dsh webon the same$DSH_HOME+ cwd — no session-log lock (seq gapcorruption). Use separateDSH_HOME.
Troubleshooting
duplicate loader entry id: skill-hub— remove the duplicate install (keep onedsh plugin addmethod).- Skill missing — check the diagnostics section (frontmatter / name mismatch / short description).
- Empty source group — its skills were deleted, or their disabled records were lost (sidecar restored/hand-edited). Startup reconciles
.disabledfiles on disk; source groups with no visible member are no longer rendered. - Dots missing in
/menu — dsh internals changed; catalog still works. - Settings card missing — open the plugin in the Plugins manager (sidebar → 插件 → dsh-skill-hub) and expand the 「技能中枢」 card at the top of the page (collapsed by default). On dsh older than
0.1.7-alpha.1this plugin does not load at all (the settings API it targets does not exist there).

Install
Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:
dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog Then say "install dsh-skill-hub for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.
This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:
Web profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:cheshireez/dsh-skill-hub Headless (CLI) profile:
dsh plugin --profile headless add github:cheshireez/dsh-skill-hub Test report
Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.
When to use it
Extend the agent's coding surface — give it a new tool, workflow, or integration so it handles a dev task it couldn't before.
Who it's for
Developers who want dsh to behave like a teammate on real codebases — editing, running, and verifying changes rather than just answering.
For developers — extending it
The tool/command surface is the seam: expose more of the SDK, add smarter context wiring, or tighten the loop between code changes and verification.
