dsh-skill-manager

List and toggle DeepSeek Harness filesystem skills — from the agent, or from the Settings UI (dynamic-plugin mode).

DeepSeek Harness loads skills straight from the filesystem (~/.agents/skills//SKILL.md, ~/.dsh/skills, project-level .dsh/skills and .agents/skills) but ships no management surface: there is no way to see which skills are installed, and no way to turn one off. dsh-skill-manager fills that gap.

• skills_list — list every filesystem skill with its enabled state and one-line description.
• skills_toggle — enable/disable any skill instantly (no restart).

Disabling renames /SKILL.md to /SKILL.md.disabled; enabling renames it back. The built-in skill-filesystem provider watches the roots, so a disabled skill disappears from the model-visible skill catalog immediately (and reappears when re-enabled). Skill content is never modified — only the SKILL.md filename.

Install

The plugin is a dsh bundle (declares dsh.bundle.patch), so it installs like any other plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web add Thomas-key/dsh-skill-manager

or from a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-skill-manager

Restart dsh web, then ask the agent:

List my skills. Disable the skill read.

The agent will call skills_list / skills_toggle for you. Toggling takes effect immediately — you can verify in the same session by asking what skills are visible.

Settings UI (optional, dynamic-plugin mode)

The same management surface is also available as a settings page ("技能" / "Skills" in Settings → sidebar). Because the web UI ships as a client bundle, this mode is provided as a dynamic Cordis plugin (session-scoped; re-install after a DSH restart):

1. Open the plugin's plugin/skill-manager.js.
2. cordis_define with code.host = that file's host body and code.client = the client body; then cordis_run and approve.

The UI lists the same skills with enable/disable toggles and a refresh button.

How it works

agent → skills_list / skills_toggle (model tools)
     → Host plugin → `node -e` bridge (stdin: JSON op, stdout: JSON result)
     → scans skill roots / renames SKILL.md  SKILL.md.disabled
     → dsh-skill-filesystem watcher → catalog updates instantly

The bridge is zero-dependency (Node built-ins only) and runs inside DSH's normal subprocess service.

Boundaries

• Scans only the four standard skill roots; anything else is untouched.
• Only renames SKILL.md/SKILL.md.disabled — never reads, edits, or deletes skill content.
• Toggling a skill only hides it from the catalog (model-visible list). Installed files stay in place; disabling is fully reversible.

Maintenance status

This plugin was authored by deepseek-v4-flash (an AI agent). If this notice has not been removed, the author does not actively maintain this plugin — it was built to scratch a personal itch (DSH ships no skill-management surface) and works as-is. No updates are planned as long as it keeps working. Forks and PRs are welcome.
