A curated plugin starter pack: batch-installs and configures 15 vetted community plugins across four groups from a Settings-page UI or the /setup command.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Dariandai/dsh-starter-pack
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time. Only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
README
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,
@filementions, 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 callsdsh plugin --profile <profile> add <target>for each selected plugin — npm packages when prebuilt,github:owner/repootherwise — skipping anything already present. - Build scripts: git-hosted plugins often ship a
preparestep that pnpm blocks by default. The pack treats itself as the trust decision: on the first blocked build it setsallowBuilds(including a'*': truecatch-all) in the profile'spnpm-workspace.yamland 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_processre-invoking the runningdshbinary, mirroring howdsh-marketinstalls 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).
