DSH Hub is the community plugin marketplace for DeepSeek Harness. According to the site's own description, its positioning is to let users find plugins by the "capability they lack," rather than adding yet another chat window.
Purpose and positioning DSH Hub aggregates community-submitted DSH (DeepSeek Harness) plugins, helping users supplement the capabilities of an existing DeepSeek Harness environment. The site explains that DSH is built on a Cordis microkernel, where the model, tools, skills, sessions, sandbox, storage, loop, scheduler, and UI are all replaceable layers; community plugins mount alongside the profile, with no need to fork the official DeepSeek Harness source code and no need to patch (No fork, no patch).
Plugin count and updates The site homepage shows two different count statements at the same time: "browse 2,000+ DeepSeek Harness plugins" and "DSH Hub indexes 724 community DSH plugins"; the latest actual catalog size is subject to what the site currently displays. The site marks "Updated daily," meaning daily updates; plugin entries show star counts and recent growth (for example, ★ 4,225 · +86 this week).
Main capabilities and plugin types Plugins are archived under nine categories of use, and the directions listed on the site include:
- Vision: paste in images to get OCR and layout evidence; image Q&A, long-screenshot OCR, UI reconstruction.
- Web UI sidebar: files, terminal, Git, and subagents gathered in the same sidebar.
- TUI dashboards and TUI chrome: task boards, git graphs, sidebars, and a skin center.
- dsh desktop shells.
- Skills and workflows.
- Browser automation and other directions. Each plugin page provides the corresponding exact install command for direct copying.
How to use: three-step installation process The installation process given by the site is as follows (content preserved as in the original): 01 Start the harness —— when Node.js is already installed, run the following command; the default address of the DSH Web UI is http://127.0.0.1:3080： npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web 02 Add the DSH plugin to the profile — dsh plugin is a pnpm forwarder, and packages that declare dsh.bundle will be added to the web profile stack. The site indicates that the plugin page will provide "the exact command to copy", but the public materials do not give the complete form of that command, so it is not provided here for now. 03 Use after restart — the bundle layer is composed at startup, and after restarting dsh web, the new plugin will appear in settings or the UI.
Developer inclusion method The site states that DeepSeek currently does not accept external PRs, and that developers should publish public DSH plugins to the GitHub topic; after tagging the repository with dsh-plugin, it will appear in that plugin marketplace on the next daily crawl, and will display the star count, README, and an embeddable README badge.
Use cases Suitable for developers who already use DeepSeek Harness and want to extend capabilities for specific tasks (such as OCR, image Q&A, terminal/Git sidebar, TUI panel, desktop shell, etc.); also suitable for plugin authors who want their DSH plugins to be discovered by the community.
Limitations and notes The site clearly indicates that DeepSeek Harness is a developer preview and that the API will change, so it is recommended to first become familiar with the installation process. In addition, DSH Hub is a community plugin marketplace, not an official plugin distribution channel; the specific features, compatibility, pricing standards, and other information of plugins must be based on the description on each plugin page, and the public materials do not provide related information.
