dsh-plugin-dev-skill

An AI Skill for developing DeepSeek Harness (dsh) plugins.

English | 中文

What is this?

This project provides a knowledge-packed Skill file (SKILL.md) that teaches AI coding assistants how to write dsh plugins. When loaded into a TraeCode, Cursor, Claude Code, or any Agent Plugins v1-compatible client, it gives the AI instant access to:

• dsh's Cordis-based "Everything is a Plugin" architecture
• Complete extension point map (15+ mechanisms)
• Copy-paste templates for 5 plugin types (Tool, Hook, LLM Adapter, UI, Session Event)
• Package structure conventions and naming rules
• Turn flow reference and event dispatch modes
• Verification checklist and best practices

It is NOT a dsh runtime plugin itself — it is a development-time knowledge asset that makes AI assistants write better dsh plugins, faster.

Why use this skill?

Writing dsh plugins requires understanding Cordis services, typed events, the session log invariant, tool execution contracts, and 15+ extension points. Without this skill, an AI assistant has to guess or hallucinate API shapes. With it, the AI gets it right the first time.

Quick Start

Option A: TraeCode / Trae IDE

Copy the skills/dsh-plugin-dev/ directory to your project's .trae/skills/ folder:

cp -r skills/dsh-plugin-dev /your/project/.trae/skills/

The skill auto-triggers when you ask the AI about dsh plugins.

Option B: Cursor / Claude Code / Other Agent Plugins v1 clients

Copy skills/dsh-plugin-dev/SKILL.md to your project's .agents/skills/dsh-plugin-dev/SKILL.md or equivalent skills directory.

Option C: Reference only

Read skills/dsh-plugin-dev/SKILL.md directly as a cheat sheet.

What's inside the Skill?

Extension Point Map (15+ mechanisms)

Plugin Type Templates

1. Tool Plugin — The most common type. Registers a model-callable tool with typed parameters, canonical output, and optional UI cards.
2. Hook Plugin — Intercepts tool calls for permission gating, audit logging, or policy enforcement.
3. LLM Adapter — Connects a new model provider to dsh's streaming pipeline.
4. UI Plugin — Renders from the session/event feed and drives input back through agent.followup().
5. Session Event — Extends durable session state with model-visible data.

Best Practices (9 rules)

1. Prefer events for interception; prefer service methods for direct calls
2. Every registration needs a disposer
3. Keep tool executors focused — put policy in tools/pre-execute
4. UI presenters must be pure (they run on streaming AND replay)
5. Secrets via Cordis Config — never read key files in code
6. Name by responsibility (Controller/Store/Registry/Runtime/etc.)
7. One ctx key per concept
8. Honor exec.signal for cancellation
9. Model-visible = logged

Compatibility

• dsh version: Target @deepseek-ai/dsh 0.1.0-rc.5+
• Node.js: 22.19+ or 24+
• Skill clients: TraeCode, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode, Kimi Code, ZCode, Codex, or any Agent Plugins v1.0.0 conformant client

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! If you find an outdated API reference, missing extension point, or have a new template to add:

1. Fork this repo
2. Edit skills/dsh-plugin-dev/SKILL.md
3. Add/update examples in examples/
4. Submit a PR

使用方式

TraeCode / Trae IDE：

cp -r skills/dsh-plugin-dev /your/project/.trae/skills/

Cursor / Claude Code 等：
将 SKILL.md 复制到项目的 .agents/skills/ 目录下。

包含内容

• Cordis 微内核架构概述和 5 大核心概念
• 15+ 扩展点映射表（从添加工具到沙箱配置）
• 5 种插件类型的完整代码模板
• 包结构规范和命名规则
