About this plugin

DeepSeek Harness desktop currently offers no official way to toggle skills on or off. There is no settings panel, no CLI command, no config-file field, and no API method. The closest workaround is hand-editing frontmatter fields, yet the skill file is still discovered and loaded by the runtime, so the skill is far from truly disabled. dsh-skill-manage was built to close exactly that gap: it registers a dedicated Skill Manage section inside the dsh desktop settings, turning a file-rename operation into a single click.\n\nCore capabilities cover the full day-to-day management workflow: a searchable skill list grouped by scope (user-global, agents-global, workspace, bundled); hot enable and disable via a file-rename mechanism (SKILL.md becomes SKILL.md.disabled, so the official provider stops recognizing the extension) that requires no app restart; one-click permanent deletion with a custom confirmation dialog; a .zip import flow that auto-extracts a skill archive into the global skills directory; and a detail view that renders the full Markdown body plus a frontmatter metadata table. A known upstream bug where the slash-command completion menu fails to refresh after a toggle—caused by a missing skills/change event subscription in dsh-client-ui-skill—is patched by silently resetting module caches after each hot toggle, keeping the chat completion list in sync.\n\nThis plugin is for dsh desktop users who have accumulated a set of custom skills and prefer a visual toggle over repeated file editing, as well as developers who regularly import community skill packs and need a lightweight management layer. It does not alter dsh skill file formats, adds no runtime dependency, and works entirely on top of the official provider's file-discovery rules.

Use Cases

  • Toggling a growing set of skills on or off from the settings panel without hand-editing files
  • Importing a community .zip skill pack and immediately inspecting its details and metadata
  • Filtering the skill list by scope and comparing frontmatter metadata when troubleshooting conflicts

Best For

  • dsh desktop users who have accumulated custom skills and prefer a panel over repeated file edits
  • dsh developers who regularly import and manage community skill packs
  • desktop users seeking instant, restart-free skill toggling to work around the missing official switch
