A field guide to the DeepSeek Harness plugin jungle

What it does

This repository is a curated index of the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin and tool ecosystem. It gathers packages from the public dsh-plugin GitHub topic and the dsh-external organization, sorting them into categories like Agents & Orchestration, Context & Search, Memory & Knowledge, and Runtime & Operations. If you are trying to figure out what the DSH community has built, this is the table of contents.

The interesting bit

The catalog exposes just how wide the DSH plugin surface has become: contributors have built everything from plan/execute routing and multi-agent collaboration suites to context compressors and cross-device session sync. The list is extensive enough that one entry, dsh-session-search, literally indexes sessions across DSH, Codex, Claude Code, and pi.

Key highlights

• Covers 18+ categories, from core bundles and IDE clients to security governance and “fun & lifestyle” plugins
• Includes both official dsh-external projects and community submissions discovered via the public dsh-plugin topic
• Bundles only become active profile layers if they declare dsh.bundle.patch metadata; plain dependencies stay installed but inactive
• Highlights specialized tooling like dsh-agent-arena for deterministic agent comparison and dsh-ha-orchestrator for model failover
• Maintains a bilingual index (English and Simplified Chinese)

Caveats

• Some dsh-external repository links may still require organization access even though the dsh-plugin topic is public

Verdict

A useful reference if you are already running DeepSeek Harness and want to discover community plugins. If you are looking for a standalone tool, this is just a well-organized index—helpful, but not a product in itself.
