dsh-plugin

You see a short video blow up and you can name exactly what made it work: the three-second hook, the pacing that builds tension, the emotional payoff at the end. But translating that recipe onto your own product has always been pure intuition. Riffkit turns that into a single step. It dissects the narrative skeleton of a successful clip—hook, pacing, emotional beats—and rebuilds the same formula with your product, your character, and your language. The source clip is never uploaded or reused; what carries over is pure structural knowledge, not a single frame.

The plugin itself is a thin packaging layer with one job: register the Riffkit skill as an additional skill root in DSH. It inserts its own provider row instead of overwriting the base one, so it cannot clobber your existing configuration, and your skills cannot shadow it in return. The skill is a single Markdown file at its core. If you do not use DSH, you can drop it into ~/.agents/skills and every harness that scans that root—Claude Code, Cursor, Codex—picks it up immediately.

Keeping the skill current is fully automated. A daily workflow pulls the latest SKILL.md, HEARTBEAT.md, and SKILL.json straight from riffkit.ai, regenerates the packaging files, runs a smoke test through DSH's own provider, and publishes only when the registry does not already have that version. An installed copy also carries a 24-hour heartbeat, so it re-syncs itself even between package releases. Best suited for creators, ad teams, and marketers who produce short-form video or social content daily and want to reverse-engineer proven structures rather than guess at what will work.
