Better_Deepseek_Harness DSH plugin limitations

Some features (Tavily search, GitHub tools) require API keys or tokens; without them, functionality is limited or rate-limited.
Image description requires a compatible vision model API and must be enabled; it may not work when dsh-web-ui's describe-image is active.
Windows notifications are only available on Windows; other platforms silently no-op.
Plugin installation from Git requires npm and git; auto-build may fail if dependencies are missing.

Better_Deepseek_Harness DSH plugin questions

How do I install a plugin using Better DeepSeek Harness?

Go to Settings → Better DeepSeek Harness → Plugins tab. Choose a source: npm package name, tarball URL, local directory, or Git repository. Fill in the details and click Install. The plugin is activated without restart; refresh the browser page if it has a client-side interface.

Can I use this plugin to manage skills?

Yes. In the Skills tab, you can install skills from Markdown (with frontmatter), a URL, or a local file/directory. Installed skills are automatically discovered by the skill file system provider and available to all sessions.

How do I set up an MCP server?

Go to Settings → Better DeepSeek Harness → MCP tab. Click 'Add MCP Server', choose stdio (local command) or streamable-http (remote URL). Fill in the command/URL, parameters, environment variables, headers, and timeout. The server is hot-reloaded and its tools become available to the model as mcp__<name>__<tool>.

Does this plugin conflict with dsh-web-ui?

No. When dsh-web-ui plugins are active, Better DeepSeek Harness automatically disables its own overlapping features (file tree, Git panel, terminal, image description) to avoid conflicts. The settings page, rescue mode, archive panel, and input optimization remain unaffected.

What is rescue mode and how do I use it?

Rescue mode automatically activates when startup fails due to faulty third-party plugins. It disables all non-essential plugins so you can start up and fix the issue. You can manually trigger it via the Plugins tab's 'Enter Rescue Mode' button. In TUI hosts, use the /rescue command.
