I previously wrote a DeepSeek Harness setup guide (Chinese original). DSH has a large plugin ecosystem, so here are some plugins I use and recommend for practical work.
If you don't have a plugin marketplace yet, the original article suggests entering dshmarket in Add plugin. Once installed, search for the plugin names below. Marketplace layout and compatibility can vary by DSH version; check the market's instructions and each plugin's documentation.
billion-context: compress long conversations
billion-context is my first recommendation for large tasks and long sessions. It compresses conversation history into layered summaries, reducing the amount of old context sent on subsequent requests while preserving useful information. The project's README describes model-driven, incremental compression and retrieval of earlier details when needed. Compression itself has a cost and savings vary with the workload and provider's cache; it is not a guarantee that no detail will be lost.
dsh-engram: memory across sessions
dsh-engram provides local-first long-term memory across sessions. It can store and retrieve useful facts, project context and preferences—think of it as a memory palace that can evolve as you work. The current README says automatic ingestion is off by default, while profile injection is enabled; what is saved or updated depends on configuration and use rather than every conversation being captured automatically. Review stored memories and settings if accuracy or privacy matters.
dsh-agent-teams: coordinate agents
With dsh-agent-teams, a lead session can divide work among agents, coordinate their tasks and bring results together. Parallel work can help on larger development jobs, though it also uses more model calls and tokens. The project publishes a compatibility matrix for different DSH versions; check it before installing.
dsh-im: reach your assistant through a messenger
dsh-im connects DSH to messaging bots, so you can send tasks and receive responses remotely. Its documentation lists Feishu, WeChat, DingTalk, WeCom, QQ, Slack, Telegram, Discord and WhatsApp among supported channels. Setup, platform permissions and available features differ by channel. Review who can access your bot and approve actions before connecting it.
Themes, wallpapers and desktop pets
I also use fun extras: dsh-claude-style gives the DSH interface a Claude Code Desktop-inspired look; it is a theme, not a change of model. There are desktop-pet plugins too. dsh-wallpaper-engine can bring compatible local Steam Wallpaper Engine backgrounds into DSH; support depends on the wallpaper type and plugin version.
These are personal recommendations, not independent security audits or promises of compatibility. Review each project's source, permissions and setup before installing. The specific packages and versions in a marketplace can change.
