dsh-courseware

The most time-consuming part of K-12 courseware production is rarely the writing itself; it is re-applying the school or brand template, adjusting the color palette, swapping fonts, and reflowing slides by hand for every single deck. dsh-courseware packages the DeepSeek Harness courseware skill together with its pptxgen engine into an installable DSH plugin. An agent takes your existing .pptx template plus a lesson outline (a lesson plan, a document, or plain text) and produces a finished deck whose backgrounds, typography, and page skeleton all inherit automatically from the original template.

Under the hood, the engine runs inside a Python 3.10+ virtual environment, parses layout metadata from the .pptx template, and generates page-by-page content from the outline. Image-generation backends are configured entirely by the end user through environment variables or a local config file; the plugin ships with zero API keys or credentials, keeping privacy and cost in the user's hands. Optional LibreOffice integration enables render previews and layout checks, while the core build path requires no extra dependencies.

It is built for K-12 teachers, curriculum designers, and education content teams who already run DeepSeek Harness workflows. If you have a branded .pptx template and a written lesson outline, a single agent command can replace the hours once spent on manual layout, freeing real time for the instructional design that actually matters.
