DSH Web GUI Plugin Control Center: Displays the installed plugins for the current profile in an aggregated card list, showing name, version, and description, and provides online enable/disable toggles.

Introduction

When developing agents with DeepSeek Harness (DSH), plugins are core components. Managing these plugins usually involves editing configuration files or restarting services. When disabling a plugin, simply removing the loading logic may leave plugin residue (for example, a pet plugin becoming an unresponsive “zombie”). This plugin aims to provide a visualized plugin management entry point through the Web GUI, solving issues of manual configuration maintenance and state synchronization.

Core Features

  1. Adds a top-level “Plugin Control” section to the settings page.
  2. Displays each Loader plugin entry as a card: name, version, description, and enabled status.
  3. Supports search and “Show installed plugins only” filtering.
  4. The online toggle writes directly to the profile-level cordis.patch.yml, and takes effect hot via DSH’s existing HMR watcher.
  5. Settings-aware toggle: For plugins that control their UI through their own settings (such as dsh-pet), disabling writes its setting toggle, ensuring the plugin truly disappears instead of leaving residue.
  6. Core infrastructure entries and this plugin itself cannot be disabled, preventing accidental operations.

Installation

Install it using the official CLI command:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/CloudFan-cyf/dsh-plugin-control

After installation, restart dsh web to load the new UI. Subsequent plugin toggle operations will use HMR hot updates and do not require another restart.

Typical Usage

  1. Restart dsh web.
  2. Open Settings → Plugin Control.
  3. View the installed plugins for the current profile in the card list.
  4. Click the toggle on a card to enable or disable the plugin.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes

  • Applicable scenario: Web environment users who need to quickly view and manage the status of installed plugins.
  • Layer conflicts: This plugin only manages the profile-level cordis.patch.yml. If a patch with the same name exists in the home layer (~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml), the user needs to handle it manually.
  • Comment handling: When rewriting the patch file, YAML comments may be normalized and lost, but the semantics are preserved.
  • Security limits: The API path prefix is /api/dsh-plugin-control, and only loopback + same-origin requests are allowed.
  • Permission requirements: The plugin runs with the permissions of the current dsh process; please review the source code and license before installation.
  • Automatic backup: Before the first rewrite of the patch file, the system automatically backs it up as cordis.patch.yml.dsh-plugin-control.bak.
