Someone is k8s-testing 9,000 DeepSeek plugins so you don't have to

What it does

This is a living registry for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin ecosystem. It automatically probes GitHub every six hours for new repositories, filters out non-plugins, and spins up isolated Kubernetes pods to test whether each candidate actually loads and runs under the latest DSH agent. The latest snapshot lists 1,258 confirmed plugins out of 9,247 discovered repositories, with 979 validated as runtime-compatible, 600 incompatible, and 94 still pending. A human-curated Top 50 list across eleven categories—covering UI workbenches, vision models, terminal front-ends, and more—sits alongside the full machine-generated index.

The interesting bit

Most awesome-lists are static markdown; this one is a CI pipeline masquerading as a list. A dedicated Kubernetes cluster runs a 20-second streaming check for every plugin—one plugin per pod, DSH agent plus Qwen—to see if the thing actually boots. The unglamorous automation—probe scheduling, 403 backoff, deduplication, and automatic README updates via bot PRs—is the entire point.

Key highlights

• Auto-discovers candidates every six hours via GitHub search and keyword probes.
• One-plugin-one-pod k8s runtime tests with DSH agent and Qwen for actual compatibility.
• Four-tier verdict system: runtime-available, incompatible, pending, or untested.
• Human-curated Top 50 across 11 categories, though some curated picks still carry “pending” or “needs adaptation” flags.
• Full index of all confirmed plugins in PLUGINS-ALL.md with per-plugin metadata and compatibility badges.
• Automatic snapshot delivery and bot PRs keep the compatibility matrix current.

Caveats

• Several entries in the hand-picked Top 50 are still flagged as untested, pending, or needing adaptation, so the curated list isn’t a guaranteed smooth ride.
• The authors explicitly state that passing a runtime test is not a security audit; third-party plugins still demand source-code review before you trust them.

Verdict

If you are building or using DeepSeek Harness and want to browse plugins without installing twenty broken ones first, this is your first stop. If you don’t use DSH, it’s just an impressively over-engineered list of someone else’s agent extensions.
