The core philosophy of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is “everything is a plugin.” As the plugin list grows, a large number of English package names (such as dsh-plugin-example) can reduce management efficiency. dsh-plugin-nickname solves this problem by allowing you to directly modify display names of plugins on the native plugin settings page.

What Is This

dsh-plugin-nickname is a plugin that lets you customize Chinese nicknames for plugins in the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin list. It is maintained by sanlisanxun and released under the MIT License. It works by modifying data in the browser’s localStorage to provide localized display of the plugin list.

Core Features

  • Nickname Replacing and Hovering: Automatically replaces English package names in the plugin list with custom Chinese nicknames. Hovering over a name shows the original English package name.
  • Visual Editing Panel: Click the “📝 Nickname” button in the lower-left corner, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N, to open the editing panel.
  • Official Plugin Protection: @deepseek-ai/* and dsh built-in bundles are marked as “Official”. By default, they cannot be renamed and their input fields are disabled. Enable the “Modify Official” toggle in the panel’s “Advanced” area to remove this restriction.
  • Grouping and Collapsing: Supports grouping by “has nickname” or “by tag”. Group titles can be clicked to collapse/expand, and the collapsed state is remembered.
  • Custom Tags: Click “+ Tag” inside an entry to add a tag. Supports switching and deleting custom tags. The system automatically applies fixed category tags for “Official / Modified / Unmodified”.
  • Toolbox: Supports a search box, sorting by original name or nickname, exporting/importing backups, button dragging, a master switch (enable/disable all nickname replacements), and one-click reset.
