WorkDSH draws on WorkBuddy's way of organizing projects, material, experts, skills, and connectors, and implements those pages and management features on DeepSeek Harness. DSH is a complete agent application in its own right; it composes models, tools, skill support, and UI through plugins. WorkDSH adds its workspace features through the same mechanism.
| What you need to do | Where WorkDSH helps |
|---|---|
| Keep working toward a long-term goal | Projects bring instructions, plans, tasks, material, and capability settings together. |
| Give AI the files you already have | The library manages local files, search, and previews; tasks can reference material and its revision. |
| Reuse a team's working methods | Experts save role and capability settings; skills carry callable instructions and resources. |
| Keep the result beyond the chat | The deliverable workspace previews or edits supported working copies of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, HTML, and PDF. |

This path is WorkDSH's product direction. End-to-end validation of project document references, expert execution, and different Office formats is ongoing during Alpha. Preview, editing, and export fidelity differ by format; the current capabilities and limits describe them in more detail.

It helps to distinguish the content people use from the software extension that manages it. A skill usually consists of instructions and resources containing SKILL.md; it can be installed directly into the local DSH Skills directory and is not necessarily a plugin. WorkDSH's skill manager is a DSH plugin. An expert configuration is not itself a plugin either; a WorkDSH plugin manages experts. Other DSH plugins can add tools or UI features directly. The plugin system can therefore support skills, experts, and software functions without making every skill or expert a separate plugin.
DSH plugins can be individual tools or combine UI, services, and other resources into a larger application scenario. For example, a data-management plugin could add data views and processing tools, then work with skills and experts across a workflow. This illustrates what the plugin model can support; it does not mean this release bundles such a data-management system. Users can discover and install skills through SkillHub and find DSH community plugins through dsh-market. Before installing a plugin, check what it provides and whether it supports the current DSH version.
WorkDSH connects two independently maintained catalogs: SkillHub for Skills and dsh-market for DSH plugins. SkillHub entries show their source and version, and open the source page for license information before installation. The DSH catalog is provided by the third-party dsh-market plugin inside the existing plugin page. Catalog entries are not all preinstalled, reviewed, or endorsed by WorkDSH; check each item's license, dependencies, and DSH compatibility. Skill management · Plugin development · Ecosystem manifesto

The third-party dsh-market plugin supplies discovery and installation. The screenshot does not imply that catalog plugins are bundled with WorkDSH.
The planned desktop installer release is 2.0.6-alpha.1. Its download links will become available after the GitHub Release is published:
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 | WorkDSH Setup.exe |
| macOS Apple Silicon | WorkDSH arm64.dmg |
| macOS Intel | WorkDSH x64.dmg |
Desktop installers include Node.js and Python runtimes by default, so users do not need to install them separately. This is an Alpha release: end-to-end project document references, expert execution, and different Office formats are still being validated. The macOS DMGs are unsigned; download updates from Releases. Start with the user guide and FAQ.
Source ownership: WorkDSH feature packages and Web · Desktop carrier · Architecture · All documentation. Running from source requires Node.js 22.19+ or 24+, Corepack, and Yarn 4.18.0:
git submodule update --init --recursive
corepack yarn install --immutable
corepack yarn devRun checks with corepack yarn check. On macOS or Windows, corepack yarn release:pack builds the Web Profile and Desktop package from the current commit. Once the Web package is published, use corepack yarn release:pack:published for the final installer. Both commands share the same packaging script. Contributing
Thanks to the maintainers and contributors of DeepSeek Harness, the foundation of our runtime and plugin system; Tencent SkillHub, whose public catalog API powers skill discovery; @cocofhu/skillhub, the bundled DSH SkillHub plugin; and dsh-market with the awesome-dsh-plugin catalog, which power community plugin discovery. WorkBuddy inspired the workspace design. The bundled skill-creator adaptation retains its Apache-2.0 notice. Feedback and contributions: GitHub Issues · Contributing
