Introduction¶
The core philosophy of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is “everything is a plugin.” When developers build agents with DSH, they often need to write skills from scratch. Matt Pocock’s agent skills provide a mature set of engineering and productivity skills, but they are not natively adapted to DSH. To bridge this gap, the mattpocock-skills-dsh plugin packages this skill set into a profile bundle that DSH can load directly.
Plugin Positioning¶
This is an independent fork maintained by JUNQINGV587, and it is a DSH port of Matt Pocock’s original agent skills. It encapsulates 25 curated engineering and productivity skills in a DSH profile bundle and adopts a flattened skill tree structure to adapt to DSH’s first-level skill discovery mechanism.
Core Features¶
- Engineering and productivity skill pack: Includes 25 curated skills covering development and efficiency scenarios.
- Flattened skill tree: Maintains the same flat structure as upstream, ensuring that DSH can directly retrieve all skills during first-level skill discovery without recursive traversal.
Installation and Enablement¶
Use the DSH CLI to install the plugin. Choose the command based on your profile name; web is only an example.
dsh plugin --profile web add github:JUNQINGV587/mattpocock-skills-dsh
Or use the full URL:
dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/JUNQINGV587/mattpocock-skills-dsh.git
After installation, you must restart the DSH profile to load the bundle.
Maintenance and Upstream¶
This is an independent fork and does not directly merge the upstream mattpocock/skills repository. If upstream releases new features, you need to manually pull and merge the updates. The plugin license is MIT, and the copyright belongs to Matt Pocock, 2026.
Use Cases and Notes¶
This plugin is suitable for developers who need to quickly enable standard engineering skills in a DSH environment.
Before installing, it is recommended to check whether the source code and license (MIT) meet your project requirements.
Summary¶
By introducing this skill pack, developers can quickly obtain a verified skill system in a DSH profile. For more details, please refer to the official catalog page or the GitHub repository.
