Not a pluginunknownfresh

Give the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) eyes with any text model + any vision model: a vision proxy for chat image attachments and an analyze_image tool for files on disk. Unofficial community project.

Install DeepSeek Harness Vision Tools

Installs but activates nothing: package.json has no `dsh.bundle` declaration, so `dsh plugin` warns and loads no config layer.

This repository is not a DSH plugin

Its package.json declares no dsh.bundle. In the official docs' own words, a package like this “still installs, but only as a plain dependency: dsh plugin prints a warning and activates no layer”. The install looks like it worked and nothing happens.

What it actually is: Give the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) eyes with any text model + any vision model: a vision proxy for chat image attachments and an analyze_image tool for files on disk. Unofficial community project. If that is what you came for, use it directly from the repository — it is just not something dsh plugin add can activate.

Before 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:tonyd2wild/DeepSeek-Harness-Vision-Tools#<commit-sha> — so the code you reviewed is the code you install.

Prerequisites

API key: Not required.
