Desktop workbench for DeepSeek Harness — Grok App visual shell, DSH engine (unofficial)
Install Deepseek App
Likely fails to load: not on npm, needs a build, and ships no `prepare` script — a git install fetches sources, not built artifacts, so the entry point is never produced.
This install is expected to fail
prepare script to run it, and is not published to npm — so nothing produces the compiled output the loader then goes looking for.Three things would fix it, all of them on the author's side: publish the package to npm, add a prepare script that builds on install, or commit the build output to the repository. Until one of those happens, the command below is here so you can reproduce the failure, not so you can install it.
What would be run — expected to install and then fail to load
# 1. add the bundle to a profile — --profile my-profile points at $DSH_HOME/profiles/my-profile
dsh plugin --profile my-profile add github:RongleCat/deepseek-app
# 2. verify: the bundle should show up as a layer in the resolved config
dsh --profile my-profile --dump-config
# 3. boot the profile
dsh --profile my-profileBefore you run it
- A plugin runs with your permissions once loaded: it can read your files, use your credentials and reach the network. Tool approvals do not sandbox it.
- Installing from git resolves a moving branch. Pin a commit —
github:RongleCat/deepseek-app#<commit-sha>— so the code you reviewed is the code you install.
Prerequisites
- API key
- Required — see the repository README for which provider.
- Network access
- Required at runtime.
- Language
- TypeScript — a git install pulls this source, not build output.
Install check
Every field the verdict was derived from, so you can re-derive it yourself
| Field checked | Result | Weight | What the spec says about it |
|---|---|---|---|
| lifecycleScripts | pass | info | no install-time scripts |
| dsh.bundle | pass | fatal | package.json declares a `dsh.bundle` layer |
| dsh.bundle.patch file | pass | fatal | patch file present at `vendor/dsh-plugin-grok/cordis.patch.yml` |
| npm registry | missing | warn | `dsh-plugin-grok` is not published to npm |
| prepare script | missing | fatal | needs a build but ships no `prepare` script — a git install fetches sources, not built artifacts |
- Verdict reason
- git-only + needs build + no prepare script
- package.json read
- vendor/dsh-plugin-grok/package.json

> [!NOTE] > ## Note > > **DeepSeek App is not an official DeepSeek product.** It is a desktop workbench around local [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness): sessions, workspaces, permissions, files, terminal, and plugins. > > Visual language is shared with sibling [Grok App](https://github.com/RongleCat/grok-app) (tokens, three-column workbench, composer, skins). The engine is Harness — not a Grok CLI swap, and not an iframe around `dsh web`. 1. [Overview](#overview) 2. [Features](#features) 3. [Screenshots](#screenshots) 4.
