dsh-find-plugins

Finding the right plugin in the DSH ecosystem is harder than it looks. Sorting by GitHub stars lets a large repo that happens to contain the keyword in its name drown out the actual plugin; literal name matching burials a well-known plugin with a different name behind a wall of one-star repositories. dsh-find-plugins adds a find_dsh_plugins tool to the agent so a single call surfaces the whole ecosystem with a defensible ranking, instead of sifting through generic agent libraries.

Under the hood it aggregates multiple directories, weighting each by its implied review rigor, then ranks results across four signals: relevance (BM25 over names, descriptions, topics, categories), trust (multi-source corroboration, verification tiers, security scans), freshness (commit-time decay with a neutral score when unknown), and popularity (logarithmic, capped at a 0.6–1.3× multiplier so stars nudge but never override real relevance). Every entry also carries source status, verification level, risk notes, DSH compatibility version, and npm version, so the agent can distinguish a healthy ecosystem from a timed-out directory and see risk conclusions rather than silent filtering.

Best suited for DSH developers building agent workflows, engineers who need to evaluate plugins before installing them, and anyone tired of getting a coding agent at the top of a terminal plugin search. Zero runtime dependencies, strictly read-only, and active immediately after a DSH restart.
