Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-modesPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Capability-based toggles for agent modes (commands, files, web, subagents, and extensions)
- System prompt editor with variable verification, preview, draft auto-saving, and history versioning
- Live prompt updating to push prompt modifications into active sessions
- Batch rewriting and one-click restoration of tool descriptions exposed to the model
- Per-mode skill management including version pinning, new skill authoring, and external skill imports
- Predefined templates (Develop, Write, Chat, Read-only research) and mode duplication
- Upstream synchronization and automated repair for broken plugins after DSH version upgrades
Useful For
- Restricting agent capabilities for specific tasks, such as creating read-only research or non-terminal modes
- Tuning system prompts and tool descriptions per mode to improve model behavior and steerability
- Pinning specific skill versions to distinct modes and importing skills from Claude Code or Codex
- Safely managing and merging upstream mode configuration updates after DeepSeek Harness upgrades
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness web interface users
- Prompt engineers and developers tailoring custom agent presets
- Teams requiring controlled capability boundaries (e.g., read-only execution)
Documented Limitations
- Requires the DSH Web interface ('dsh web') and Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0
- Tool description rewriting is not supported in Code mode (PTC)
- Live prompt and in-chat prompt edits apply only to opening and closing prompt text, not full prompt overrides
- Project-level skills inside session workspaces are not listed in the global management view
- Syncing requires an established baseline recorded after version 0.5.0 saves
