dsh-software-tools

Every time you ask the model to run aria2, spin up ComfyUI, or search your Obsidian vault, you end up manually explaining that the tool exists and how to invoke it. dsh-software-tools turns your local software inventory into a persistent, checkable system-prompt section: open the "Software Tools" panel in the sidebar, tick the WSL CLI tools and Windows interop apps you want the model to know about, and their usage recipes are injected into every session automatically. No more pasting commands ad hoc.

The plugin ships a portable built-in catalog (aria2, proxy, playwright, uvx, zstd, and more) and lets you extend it through catalog.json with your own entries that override built-ins by id. A bundled add-software-tool skill goes a step further: after installing a new program, simply tell the model "add XXX to software tools" and it researches the usage, writes the entry into the catalog, and the panel picks it up on refresh — no rebuild, no restart. Grouping, instant toggling, and a loopback-pinned RPC channel that only reads local JSON keep the whole setup lightweight and zero-config.

It is built for developers juggling a WSL + Windows toolchain, anyone who frequently asks the model to drive local CLI utilities or GUI apps like aria2, ComfyUI, Obsidian, or Playwright, and teams that want "what is installed on this machine" to stop being an oral convention and start being durable, prompt-level context.
