DSH Skills Manager
DSH Skills Manager is a community-maintained DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin, not an official DeepSeek AI product.
Features
Bring skills from your computer and projects into DSH without switching between Agent folders.
- Manage in one place: browse collapsible source groups, search, read, and toggle skills.
- Global and project skills: the project tab follows the current session, with project copies taking priority over global copies.
- Reuse existing skills: supports Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, and other agents without modifying their source files when toggled.
- Create and import: create a skill or import ZIP archives, folders, and
SKILL.md files into global DSH.
- Recover deleted skills: DSH skills go to Trash first, so accidental deletions can be restored.

Installation
Requires a working DeepSeek Harness installation. The commands below use the web profile; replace it with yours if needed.
Ask an agent to install it
Send this to an agent that can use your local terminal:
Install the latest @michengai/dsh-skills-manager into my DSH web profile using the official npm registry. Confirm installation and explain how to reload DSH.
Install manually
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
dsh plugin --profile web add @michengai/dsh-skills-manager@latest --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
Restart DSH, refresh the page, and open Settings → Skills. To update, select Check for updates or run the installation command again.

0.1.53 is tested with DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.8, 0.1.1-rc.2, 0.1.2-rc.1, 0.1.5-rc.1, 0.1.5-rc.2, 0.1.6-alpha.1, 0.1.6-alpha.2.
Usage
| What you want to do | How |
|---|
| Find a skill | Choose Global or Project, expand a source group, or use search and filters. |
| Read its contents | Select View details for the skill body and source information. |
| Enable or disable | Toggle the skill switch. This affects DSH without editing source files. |
| Add a skill | Select Create skill or Import into global DSH. |
| Recover a deletion | Open Trash and restore. For project skills, return to a session in the original project first. |
- Current project only: Git repositories use the nearest Git root. Other folders use the current session working directory; no
git init required.
- Independent copies: disabling a project copy allows another enabled copy to take over, and the panel identifies the active source. Disable all copies to turn the skill off completely.
- File management: only DSH skills can move to Trash. Other Agent skills can be viewed and toggled. Creation and import always save to global DSH.
Supported Agent directories
~ means your home directory; <project> is the current session project root. These are default paths; configured DSH directory variables take precedence.
