better-model-provider
A DeepSeek Harness web plugin for declaring per-model reasoning-effort options and text/image input capabilities for OpenAI-compatible providers.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add github:sanshanya/better-model-providerRepository Intelligence
AI-assisted, source-grounded explanation based on the public repository snapshot. It does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Adds a Settings → Model capabilities section in the DSH web client.
- Declares per-model reasoning-effort levels, including wire spellings.
- Declares accepted request modalities, including image input for vision-capable models.
- Updates the model picker to offer declared reasoning-effort levels.
- Allows declared image-capable models to pass the host image-input admission check.
- Does not handle provider API credentials; providers are configured on the official Models page.
Useful For
- Enable reasoning-effort controls for a custom OpenAI-compatible model.
- Mark a custom model as accepting image input for image sessions.
- Configure provider-specific wire values for reasoning-effort levels.
- Manage model capability declarations through a settings UI rather than hand-editing YAML.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness web users configuring custom OpenAI-compatible providers.
- Users onboarding models with reasoning or vision capabilities.
Documented Limitations
- Requires the DeepSeek Harness web profile and a restart of dsh web plus browser hard refresh after installation.
- Provider configuration and API credentials must be managed on the official Models page, not in this plugin.
- The README states testing against the DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.5 family; internal settings-section registration is described as experimental and may silently degrade on newer incompatible Harness versions.
- Its declared scope is model capability metadata; it does not add provider credential management.
