DSH Skill Manager — a graphical tool for viewing and managing DHS skills: list, grouping, enable/disable, guided creation, and LLM review. Skill creation and editing are executed by the host agent (LLM); this plugin handles "see clearly, control firmly".

How DHS manages skills (background)

DHS's skill system has no centralized registry — files are the registry: drop <name>/SKILL.md into a scan root and the host automatically discovers it and adds it to the model's available directory.

Scan directories (skill-filesystem provider default roots)

> ~/.agents is the shared config root of Anthropic's Agent Skills open specification (not Claude Code's ~/.claude). DHS proactively supports it — any skill placed in ~/.agents/skills works in any compatible tool.

Invocation (two channels)

1. Model-driven: each session injects an <available_skills> directory (skill name + 500-char truncated description); the model loads the full instructions with the skill tool 2. User-driven: type /<skill-name> (kebab-case) in the conversation and the host injects the full skill instructions into context

Permission switches (frontmatter)

Prerequisites

For a skill to be usable, the session must mount the skill-filesystem + tool-skill plugins — the web profile's default preset standard already mounts them; the minimal preset has only two tools and no skill capability.

What this plugin does: graphical management

DHS natively offers only "filesystem + session injection" for skills, which is hard to view and manage visually. This plugin provides a "Skill Manager" panel in the sidebar:

• Skill list: scans the filesystem (~/.dsh/skills, ~/.agents/skills, $DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR) and parses SKILL.md frontmatter — independent of whether the preset loads the provider; management is filesystem-based (visible in the panel = file is on disk)
• Three views: All / by source (user-dsh, user-agents, project, bundled) / by collection (metadata.group + subgroup)
• Two toggles: "Model can invoke" and "User can invoke" switch independently (writes frontmatter, read natively by DHS)
• Collection management: set/clear group/subgroup, enable/disable an entire group at once
• Details: trigger conditions, body preview, file path
• Create skill: guides DHS to create ~/.dsh/skills/<name>/ (the LLM writes SKILL.md from a prompt)
• LLM review: one-click generation of a review prompt for DHS (instruction quality / security risk / improvement suggestions); edit the file directly when changes are needed
• i18n: zh / en bilingual

Install

# From GitHub (first install requires allowing the build; dsh will prompt you to add the package key to the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml allowBuilds)
dsh plugin add github:EricXu20266/dsh-skillmanager

# Or from npm (prebuilt artifacts, no build authorization needed)
dsh plugin add dsh-skillmanager

Usage

After installing, restart the dsh session and the "Skill Manager" entry appears in the sidebar. After adding/modifying skill files, the watcher discovers them automatically — no restart needed.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build          # tsc compiles host side → lib/
pnpm bundle:client  # tsdown bundles client side → client/client.js

> During development, if the profile references this repo via a file: dependency, you must manually sync build artifacts into the profile's node_modules after changes (pnpm file: deps are copied once and don't watch source changes), then restart the host.
