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.

dsh-plugin-github-search

Search before you build. A DeepSeek Harness plugin that makes an agent check GitHub and npm for existing projects before writing a new plugin or capability — so an existing project is found before time is spent reinventing it.

What it does

  • github_search — structured GitHub repository search (name, stars, description, language) sorted by

stars, via the GitHub Search API. By default the topic:dsh-plugin qualifier is added; pass an explicit topic (or an empty string) to override.

  • npm_search — structured npm package search, catching plugins published to the registry without a

GitHub topic. npm qualifiers like keywords:dsh-plugin are supported.

  • System-prompt rule (guidePrompt, default on): the agent MUST call these tools before writing a new

plugin or capability, report what exists, and only then decide to build fresh, borrow, or skip.

Try it

# optional: a GitHub token raises the anonymous search rate limit
$env:GH_TOKEN = "ghp_..."          # Windows
export GH_TOKEN=ghp_...            # macOS/Linux

# install the bundle into any profile (the prepare script builds on install)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Tianbaidi/dsh-plugin-github-search

Then ask: "I want to build a dsh plugin that lets a text-only model read images — check GitHub first." The agent searches, summarizes existing projects, and recommends build / borrow / skip.

> Windows note: dev overlay plugin paths must be file:// URLs (file:///D:/...%20...).
