Best DSH Plugins in 2026: the essential eight
The eight DeepSeek Harness plugins worth installing first, chosen for capability gain, maintenance and how well they hold up on a preview runtime.
This collection selects 8 plugins from the directory. Their verification levels are L1 1, L2 4, L3 3, L4 0, L5 0: L3 means the install command was parsed and a compatibility target declared, while L1 means only the repository and its README were confirmed. No pick has been installed or run in a sandbox, so none claims L4 or L5. 0 of 8 have passed an automated security scan, and the other 8 are marked unverified rather than safe. Declared compatibility targets are unstated 5, 0.1.2-rc.1 || 0.1.3-alpha.2 || 0.1.5-rc.1 1, ^0.1.2-rc.1 || ^0.1.5-alpha.1 || ^0.1.6-alpha.1 1, ^0.1.5-rc.1 1. Together the picks carry 82,899 GitHub stars, and the most recently checked is Archify (2026-09-18). Every listing below records its own licence, language and last-checked date, so a claim here can be traced back to the listing it came from. Selection weighed capability gain and maintenance through the preview churn rather than star count, so read the list below as a build order rather than a ranking.

Eight plugins, chosen because each one closes a gap that almost every DSH user hits, and because each has been maintained through the preview churn rather than abandoned at its first release.
Archify
The fastest way to make an agent’s output reviewable. Architecture and sequence diagrams arrive as self-contained HTML you can commit, so the artifact outlives the session. It is a skill rather than a runtime extension, which makes it unusually upgrade-tolerant.
Ouroboros
An agent operating system built on one rule: the agent does not get to declare success. Interview gates, staged evaluation and a budgeted evolution loop make it the right choice when a regression would be expensive.
Modlens
Vision for models that cannot see, delivered as structured JSON evidence rather than a prose description. Text with coordinates and layout regions means the model can cite exactly what it looked at.
DSH Context
Every long session eventually raises the question of what is in the window. Context gives you composition, growth over time, and a log of compaction events, which turns context tuning from guesswork into measurement.
Modsearch
Free web search with no key and no signup, returning structured results with citations preserved. It is the single highest-value install for anyone running a model without native browsing.
GenUI
Turns replies into interface: charts, forms, quizzes and 3D scenes rendered inline, with interactions flowing back to the model. It changes what a conversation can produce.
Better Sidebar
Replaces the default sidebar with an extensible one and registers pages from other plugins. Files, terminal, Git and subagents sit beside the conversation instead of behind it.
Mnemon
Persistent memory that survives the session boundary, with an LLM supervision step deciding what is worth writing. A single binary, no service to run.
How we choose
We weight capability gain first, then maintenance signal: recent commits, a declared license, and a dshTarget that tracks a current preview release. Star counts are context, never the deciding factor. Every pick is re-checked when the listing is refreshed, and a plugin that stops tracking the runtime is replaced rather than left in place.
