refkitjs/dsh-plugin

English | 中文

DeepSeek Harness plugin for refkit: license-normalized creative reference search as native agent tools, with a web card that shows the license and the use-verdict on every result.

• refkit_search — one call fans out to up to 24 sources (Openverse images and audio, Met, Art Institute of Chicago, Wikimedia Commons, Rijksmuseum, Smithsonian, Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, PoetryDB, Poly Haven textures and HDRIs, ambientCG, Europeana, Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, Flickr, Freesound, Jamendo, Brave, nailbook), merges and reranks the results, and returns each with its source id, license id, canonical link, the length of audio and video clips where the source reports it, and — when you pass an intent — a use-verdict and a ready credit line.
• refkit_rights — re-check one license for a different intent without searching again.
• Web card — thumbnail grid; source and license chips on every tile; video posters with a play mark, album art on audio, and an m:ss length badge on both; green / blue / red / amber badges for allowed / credit required / not allowed / needs review; one-click credit copy.

Thirteen of the 24 sources work with no key at all (Openverse images and audio, Met, Art Institute of Chicago, Wikimedia Commons, Rijksmuseum, Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, PoetryDB, Poly Haven textures and HDRIs, ambientCG, nailbook). Add free keys for the rest under Plugins (sidebar) → refkit → Components → refkit.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @refkit/dsh-plugin
# or straight from GitHub (prebuilt bundles are committed):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:refkitjs/dsh-plugin

Restart the dsh web host once so the profile picks up the bundle. Tested against @deepseek-ai/dsh 0.1.7-rc.2 and 0.2.1-rc.2. Requires dsh 0.1.x from 0.1.7-rc.2 on, or 0.2.x from 0.2.1-rc.2 on (^0.1.7-rc.2 || ^0.2.1-rc.2); dsh refuses to load it on older releases and on the 0.2.0 pre-releases. dsh is in developer preview and its plugin API changes between release candidates.

Upgraded dsh to 0.2.1 with refkit 0.2.0 or 0.3.0 installed? dsh 0.2.1 refuses both, so remove the plugin and add it again: dsh plugin --profile web remove @refkit/dsh-plugin, then dsh plugin --profile web add @refkit/dsh-plugin.

Configuration

Keys and tuning are set on Plugins (sidebar) → refkit → Components → refkit (namespace refkit); changes apply on the next call, no restart needed. Keys are secret fields: never shown on the settings page (only a Set / Not set marker), never logged, never returned to the model, and stored in the profile's cordis.patch.yml (file mode 0600, plaintext). Each key left empty falls back to the environment variables in the table below (REFKIT_* first) — the same names @refkit/mcp reads, so one .env serves both. An invalid hand-edited cordis.patch.yml stops the plugin at startup until it's fixed.

Field	Env (first wins)	Enables
unsplashAccessKey	REFKIT_UNSPLASH_KEY, UNSPLASH_KEY	unsplash
pexelsApiKey	REFKIT_PEXELS_KEY, PEXELS_KEY	pexels, pexels-video

openverseToken	REFKIT_OPENVERSE_TOKEN	higher Openverse rate limits (optional)

Field	Default	Meaning
sources	[]	Source ids to enable; empty = every source whose key is present
limit	12	Default results per call (1–30); also caps per-item detail fetches for met, rijksmuseum, polyhaven, polyhaven-hdri
poolFactor	2	Rank-fusion pool multiplier (1–4)
deadlineMs	15000	Whole-search deadline
timeoutMs	10000	Per-source timeout
rerank	true	Lexical reranker over title, description, tags and excerpt (CJK aware)
sourceConfidence	true	Down-weight sources whose batch never mentions the query
userAgent	refkit-dsh-plugin/<version>	Sent with source requests

Tools

refkit_search

Argument	Type	Meaning
query	string	What to search for
modalities	image video audio text	Default ["image"]
intent	internal-moodboard commercial-product ai-generation-input redistribution	Annotate every result with a use-verdict and credit line
gateFor	same	Return only results whose license allows the intent
sources	string[]	Restrict to source ids (polyhaven-hdri for HDRIs, openverse-audio for audio, …)
limit	1–30	Default from configuration
cursor	string	Continuation from a previous nextCursor
controls	object	orientation, color, language, sort, safety, license, media, creator, text, page
minRelevance	0–1	Drop results the reranker scored below this
explain	boolean	Include per-source diagnostics under meta

Each result names its source id and carries its license, canonical link, thumbnail (a video's poster, a track's album art) and, for audio and video when the source reports it, durationSec; width/height are the original's size, or the preview's when the source does not report it.

Example prompts: “find me reference photos of brutalist libraries I can use in a commercial pitch deck”, “给我找几张可以商用的赛博朋克街景参考图”, “a public-domain poem about the sea for a poster”, “an outdoor HDRI for lighting a product render”, “a short rain sound effect for a game trailer”.

refkit_rights

license, intent, canonicalUrl (required); licenseVersion, author, title, editorialOnly, jurisdiction, userJurisdiction, facts (optional). Returns decision, reasons, confidence, attribution, disclaimer.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm test                 # vitest, in-process, no network
pnpm build                # lib/index.js (host) + lib/client.js (browser) + lib/types
node scripts/check-client-bundle.mjs
REFKIT_LIVE=1 node scripts/smoke-host.mjs "forest path"   # one real Openverse search
dsh plugin --profile web add file:$PWD                    # install the local build

lib/ is committed so github: installs need no build step; CI fails if it is stale.

Not legal advice

Verdicts are a conservative heuristic over source-declared license facts. They tell you what the source says you may do; they are not rights clearance.
