dsh-plugin-scout

Before you write a new harness or adopt a community plugin, the first question to answer is: has someone already built this? dsh-plugin-scout exists for that moment of hesitation. It does not install anything and does not write code for you. It does one thing: it lays out the relevant candidates in the DSH ecosystem and gives each a verdict with supporting evidence.

Concretely, it first scans the core deepseek-harness repository to list capabilities that are already built in, so you do not rebuild them. It then searches every public repository tagged dsh-plugin, narrows the results to those related to your goal, reads their README, package.json, and directory structure, and applies a fixed judgment rubric to assign each candidate a TRY, WATCH, or SKIP label along with the evidence behind that call.

If you are weighing whether to adopt a community plugin, or checking whether your requirement is already covered before you start building, scout can turn the scattered possibilities on GitHub into a single clear candidate table so you can decide which follow-up tool to bring in next.
