Custom Skills list settings page for DeepSeek Harness Web. It registers a "Skills" page in the Settings panel, fetches the current ordinary session's user-invocable skill catalog through the existing skill.list wire RPC, and renders it as a read-only list.
Install
Install the bundle into the Web profile with the Harness plugin command. Both dsh and pnpm must be on PATH (dsh plugin forwards its arguments to pnpm):
dsh plugin --profile web add -w @winterchenhuan/dsh-skills-viewer
dsh web --dump-config # verify the skills-viewer layer is present
dsh web # boot the Web GUI
The -w (--workspace-root) flag is required because the Web profile directory is itself a pnpm workspace root (pnpm-workspace.yaml with packages: [.]); without it pnpm refuses add there with ERR_PNPM_ADDING_TO_ROOT. dsh plugin forwards arguments verbatim to pnpm, so the flag is passed through as-is.
The package declares dsh.bundle, so dsh plugin add inserts the skills-viewer row automatically; do not edit the profile's cordis.patch.yml by hand. The package also declares dsh.client, which lets the Web host serve its prebuilt browser bundle from lib/client.js.
For a source checkout, place the directory at custom-plugins/dsh-skills-viewer inside a DeepSeek Harness checkout — tsconfig.json resolves ../../tsconfig.base.client.json, ../../vendor/cordis, and the ../../packages/* project references from exactly that location — then build and install it:
# From the Harness checkout root:
pnpm exec tsc -b custom-plugins/dsh-skills-viewer --pretty false
pnpm exec tsdown --config custom-plugins/dsh-skills-viewer/tsdown.config.ts
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add -w ./custom-plugins/dsh-skills-viewer
(pnpm dsh runs the checkout's own CLI from apps/cli; relative add path specs are anchored to the invoking directory.)
Remove it with:
dsh plugin --profile web remove @winterchenhuan/dsh-skills-viewer
Composition
This is a pure UI plugin. The node half apply is empty; the browser half is exported from ./client, discovered through the dsh.client manifest, and injected after @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime, @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings, @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-locale, and @deepseek-ai/dsh-api-remotes are available. It injects slots, locale, and connection, then registers one settings.section list entry (id skills, order 90) through ctx.slots.inject('settings.section', ...) so declaration order does not matter.
Page behavior
The page reads the current session id and current subagent address from the useSessions standard prop. With an ordinary current session, it calls connection.api.skills.list({ sessionId }) to fetch the catalog. Skill discovery is session-scoped: composition, cwd, and preset layer affect which skills are visible, so the page refetches when the current session changes. With no current session, or while the current navigation points at a subagent address, the page shows the empty state and does not call skill.list. A selected session that is still detached host-side is retried briefly and then shows a retry action instead of the raw session-not-found diagnostic.
Each skill row displays:
- name — kebab-case identifier (monospace)
- model: off badge — when
disable-model-invocation: true - description — routing description
- whenToUse — optional extra routing guidance (italic)
The list is sorted alphabetically by skill name. A search box filters rows by name, description, or whenToUse (case-insensitive); the count line shows M of N when a search narrows the result, and a no-match placeholder when nothing remains.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- No skill body preview — the page lists summaries only; loading a skill body requires the model-facing
skilltool. A future inline preview could call a new preview RPC. - No refresh button or push invalidation — the page refetches on session change but does not manually refresh or subscribe to
skills/change.
Install
Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:
dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog Then say "install dsh-skills-viewer for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.
This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:
Web profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:winterhuan/dsh-skills-viewer Headless (CLI) profile:
dsh plugin --profile headless add github:winterhuan/dsh-skills-viewer Test report

When to use it
Change how dsh looks or how you interact with it — a theme, a skin, or a new panel that reshapes the workspace.
Who it's for
Users who spend hours in the web UI and want it to look and feel the way they work.
For developers — extending it
Skins, panels, and theme tokens are the extension points — author a new skin, add a panel, or sync tokens with an upstream palette.
