DeepSeek Harness Plugin

sorchk/dsh-linux-desktop-use

Category Tools & Capabilities Added 2026-11-07

Control a local Linux desktop from DeepSeek Harness with 19 tools: screenshot, mouse, keyboard, scroll, window, application, display and state-verification control over a native X11 session with XTEST, plus optional AT-SPI accessibility-tree reads and widget value setting. Not for Wayland. Requires xdotool on the host (XTEST input); screenshots and window control also want scrot, ffmpeg, wmctrl, xrandr and xprop, and the AT-SPI tools need python3-gi, at-spi2-core and libatk-adaptor. Missing packages can be installed from the plugin's dependency panel with sudo.

Install

# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:sorchk/dsh-linux-desktop-use

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 — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
