This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

Fuzzy search + description preview for the / skill menu in the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) Web UI.

See it in one picture

Both screenshots typed the same /design:

Before — prefix matching only: 4 results, descriptions truncated with ...:

![before](assets/before.png)

After — fuzzy matching finds 7 results (including canvas-design and mobile-design, which a prefix match can never reach), full names with no truncation, and a side panel previewing the full description of the highlighted entry:

![after](assets/after.png)

The problem it solves

The built-in / skill menu in dsh matches by prefix: to use baoyu-markdown-to-html you must remember to type /baoyu-… — typing /markdown finds nothing. With hundreds of skills installed, the menu is effectively unsearchable.

With this plugin it works like a modern editor's command palette:

  • /markdown — every skill whose name contains those letters (baoyu-markdown-to-html, web-to-markdown, markitdown, …)
  • /mdhtml, /bmth — letter-subsequence queries work too
  • ↑↓ to select; the right panel previews the full description live; Enter inserts

Install

Prerequisite: dsh installed (npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh).

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-skill-fuzzy

Restart dsh (dsh --profile web), type /, and enjoy.

> 💡 Your other plugins, sessions, and settings are untouched. This plugin takes over the skill menu only — command entries like /compact and /plan behave exactly as before.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-skill-fuzzy

Restores the stock dsh behavior.

FAQ

Q: Nothing changed after installing? Make sure you launched the profile you installed into (e.g. dsh --profile web) and refreshed the browser page.

Q: What happens when I pick a skill? Identical to the built-in behavior: the literal /skill-name text is inserted, and dsh loads the skill body when sending. Skills with disable-model-invocation remain manually invocable.

Q: Does it support the TUI (terminal UI)? Not yet — Web UI only. The TUI currently offers no completion extension point for plugins.

Q: Case sensitivity? CJK? Matching is case-insensitive; CJK characters match as subsequences too.

For developers

<details> <summary>How it works</summary>

Every module of the dsh Web UI is itself a plugin. Through dsh's official bundle layering, this plugin disables the built-in skill-menu plugin (ui-skill, prefix matching) and registers a drop-in replacement: same per-session catalog caching, same pick behavior — only the filter becomes a fuzzy-scoring ranker, plus a new preview-panel overlay entry that follows the menu highlight.

<details> <summary>Develop from source</summary>

git clone https://github.com/Kevoyuan/dsh-skill-fuzzy.git
cd dsh-skill-fuzzy
pnpm install && pnpm build && pnpm test
dsh plugin --profile web add .          # install from the local directory
  • pnpm watch for incremental builds; restart dsh after changes
  • pnpm check for type checking

<details> <summary>Upgrading dsh</summary>

Roughly 20KB of upstream UI code is reproduced here (MIT, credited in LICENSE). If the skill tool row breaks after a major dsh upgrade, rebuild first; if that does not help, sync the copied files against upstream (see the repo README). Minor upgrades are unaffected.
