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
- Shims LLM model capability resolution to permit image attachments on text-only models
- Rewrites agent pre-step messages locally using Tesseract OCR
- Prevents raw image byte transmission to external LLM providers by default
- Provides optional passthrough mode for genuine multimodal vision models
- Caches recognized text per attachment ID to optimize multi-turn conversations
- Automatically cleans up temporary image files with timeout handling
Useful For
- Using text-only LLMs (such as DeepSeek-V2.5/V3) with scanned documents or screenshots
- Privacy-sensitive document processing where image data must remain on the local machine
- Extracting text from diagrams, code screenshots, and invoices into LLM workflows
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users relying on text-only models for document processing
- Privacy-conscious developers processing confidential image data
- System administrators and AI engineers seeking local OCR pre-processing
Documented Limitations
- Requires system-level installation of the Tesseract OCR binary and corresponding language packs
- Image format compatibility is tied to local Tesseract/Leptonica build capabilities
- Must not be enabled concurrently with conflicting OCR plugins like windows-ocr
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
Security Signals
Objective signals discovered from package metadata and source inspection. These are not a guarantee that a plugin is safe.
