dsh-starter-pack

One-click curated plugin starter pack for DeepSeek Harness (dsh). Install this one plugin, and it installs and configures a batch of the most useful community plugins for you.

Why

New DSH users face 400+ community plugins and no idea which to install. dsh-starter-pack is the "essentials bundle": a vetted, grouped list of the plugins worth having, installed in one click.

Install

Published to npm — installs from the prebuilt npm package, so no pnpm build approval is needed:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-starter-pack

Install from GitHub source (optional):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Dariandai/dsh-starter-pack

Restart dsh web, then open Settings → Starter Pack, or run /setup.

Usage

Settings → Starter Pack — pick groups and hit Install selected:

Slash command — no UI needed:

/setup                    # list groups and per-plugin status
/setup essentials         # install one group
/setup external efficiency  # install several groups
/setup all                # install everything

Installed plugins appear with an "Installed" badge and are skipped on re-runs. New plugins take effect after a restart of dsh web.

The curated groups

• 新手必备 (Essentials) — plugin store & manager, sidebar workbench, @file mentions, VS Code open, and a security sandbox (mirage).
• 外部能力 (External Capabilities) — vision (modlens), web search (modsearch), an MCP bundle, and a context-insight panel.
• 记忆与技能 (Memory & Skills) — persistent cross-session memory (dsh-mnemon) and a skill manager.
• 效率与外观 (Productivity & Look) — a multi-provider spend wallet, turn notifications, and a skin switcher.

Each entry lists why it's recommended, with a link to its repo. The list is curated by necessity, practicality and authority — plugins that fail to install reliably (e.g. dsh-toolkit, whose dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-type-meta is missing from npm, harness discussion #984) are deliberately excluded.

How it works

• The pack ships a curated registry (src/registry.ts). On install it calls dsh plugin --profile <profile> add <target> for each selected plugin — npm packages when prebuilt, github:owner/repo otherwise — skipping anything already present.
• Build scripts: git-hosted plugins often ship a prepare step that pnpm blocks by default. The pack treats itself as the trust decision: on the first blocked build it sets allowBuilds (including a '*': true catch-all) in the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml and retries. You can edit that file later to restore pnpm's defaults.
• Recommended config: plugins that expose a verified host-side config key get a patch written into the profile's cordis.patch.yml (merge-only, idempotent). Most curated plugins run on their defaults, which is the recommendation.
• Installs run through child_process re-invoking the running dsh binary, mirroring how dsh-market installs plugins.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run check      # typecheck (host + client) + build
npm pack            # produce the publishable tarball

The client bundle is built with tsdown and wraps into the harness __ModuleLoader__ contract (scripts/normalize-client-banner.mjs, guarded by scripts/preflight.mjs).
