English | 中文

A lightweight skin manager for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI. It discovers every installed skin (any package carrying a skin.json plus a prebuilt client bundle), lists them in a dedicated Settings → Skins page, and lets you switch the active skin with one click — mutually exclusive, hot-reloaded without restarting dsh web.

Features

• Dynamic discovery — scans the web profile's node_modules for packages with skin.json + prebuilt lib/client.js, and also recognizes market themes without skin.json (a client bundle plus a cordis.patch.yml that inserts a theme/skin loader row, e.g. dsh-skin / Codex-style skin or dsh-kimino-theme). Newly installed skins appear automatically; no registry regeneration, no code changes.
• Dedicated settings page — a settings.section entry (id skins, order 20) in the settings sidebar, next to General / Models.
• One-click apply — pick a skin and click Apply; the profile patch is rewritten and DSH's config watcher hot-reloads it within seconds. Refresh the page to activate.
• Mutually exclusive — exactly one skin is active at a time (the active one gets an insert row, every other skin a disabled: true row).
• Restore default — the Default option disables every skin and returns to the stock DeepSeek Harness appearance.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:xiaoyangcheng84-svg/dsh-skin-manager

Then restart dsh web (or rely on the market's hot install). Open Settings → Skins after a page refresh.

Requires git for the github: source install; alternatively install from a local checkout with dsh plugin --profile web add link:<path>.

Usage

1. Open Settings → Skins.
2. See Default plus every installed skin (e.g. 深海女仆工坊 / maid-atelier).
3. Click Apply on a skin → click Refresh when prompted → the skin activates.
4. Click Apply on Default to restore the stock look.

Skin package protocol

Any package is recognized as a skin when:

• it lives under the profile's node_modules (top-level or @scope/name),
• it ships a skin.json (id, name, package, accent, bodyAttr, tagline, optional wiring.id — the same fields used by dsh-deep-whale / dsh-web-ui skins), and
• it ships a prebuilt client bundle (exports["./client"] or lib/client.js).

A market theme without skin.json is also recognized when:

• it has dsh.client and dsh.bundle.patch,
• its cordis.patch.yml contains a simple insert row,
• the package name, row id, or (for immediately-loaded client bundles) description/keywords mention theme/skin, and
• it ships a prebuilt client bundle.

dsh-market coordination

When dsh-market is installed, applying a skin from this manager also:

• rewrites the same cordis.patch.yml managed section (boot persistence),
• updates dsh-market's .dsh-market/state.json so it cannot re-disable the chosen skin at boot,
• unmounts stale dsh-market hot mounts that would otherwise overlap the newly applied skin, and
• syncs dsh-market's in-memory disabled state before rewriting the patch, so the market's self-healing guard cannot immediately re-disable the skin you just applied — no manual "use" click in the market is needed.

How switching works

Switching rewrites the managed section of the profile's cordis.patch.yml (between # --- dsh-skin-manager managed --- markers):

• active skin → an - insert: row;
• every other skin → - id: <rowId> + disabled: true.

Non-skin user patch rows (e.g. dsh-market) are preserved untouched.

API

The host half mounts three routes under /api/skin-manager:

Route	Method	Purpose
/api/skin-manager/list	GET	List installed skins + current active id
/api/skin-manager/apply	POST	{ id } or { id: "official" } to switch
/api/skin-manager/bundle	GET	?id=<skinId> serve a skin's client bundle

Development

The client bundle is written directly in the __ModuleLoader__ bundle format (the same shape tsdown emits for the shipped ui-* packages), so no build step is required. lib/client.js may require only module-table entities (platform seed words like react and registered client bundles).
