@deepseek-ai/dsh-skill-local
English | 中文
Local filesystem provider for the ctx.skills registry.
This package implements one skill source. It scans local project, custom, and user skill roots, parses SKILL.md or flat Markdown skill files, and registers the provider on ctx.skills. The registry remains in @deepseek-ai/dsh-skill; the session-prefix catalog and model-facing loader tool remain in @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-skill.
Plugin
Requires ctx.skills (inject: ['skills']).
Config
| Field | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
dshHome |
$DSH_HOME or ~/.dsh |
DeepSeek Harness config root resolved by @deepseek-ai/dsh-paths; scans skills under this directory. |
agentsHome |
$DSH_AGENTS_HOME or ~/.agents |
Shared agent config root scanned for compatible skills. |
customSkillDirs |
[] |
Additional local skill roots scanned after project roots and before user roots. |
Discovery
Default roots are resolved in this provider's rank order:
| Rank | Source | Path |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | project-dsh |
<projectRoot>/.dsh/skills |
| 200 | project-agents |
<projectRoot>/.agents/skills |
| 300 | custom |
Config.customSkillDirs |
| 400 | user-dsh |
<dshHome>/skills |
| 500 | user-agents |
<agentsHome>/skills |
The project root is the nearest ancestor containing .git; without one, the current cwd is used. The user DSH root skips its .system child so system-owned directories are not treated as normal user skills. This provider supplies project and user skills; another provider may supply built-in system skills.
When ctx.fs is available, discovery lists roots through ctx.fs.listDir, reads skill files through ctx.fs.readText, and probes .git through the filesystem service. Full skill loads forward the lookup abort signal to filesystem metadata and content reads. Without a filesystem service, the provider falls back to abortable Node filesystem I/O so minimal local contexts can still load skills. Missing, unreadable, or malformed skill files warn and skip instead of failing the whole request.
Skill Format
Skills can be single-level directory bundles (<name>/SKILL.md) or flat Markdown files (<name>.md). Nested **/SKILL.md discovery is intentionally not part of v1. Frontmatter is parsed as YAML with the yaml package; it requires name and description, while whenToUse, disableModelInvocation, and metadata are optional. Names must be kebab-case.
Model Experience
Indirectly, through dsh-tool-skill, which renders this provider's invocable names and capped descriptions into the session-prefix catalog and a selected instruction body plus resource-base guidance into retained tool history while paths, provider ranks, and disabled skills remain hidden.
KV Cache effect
No direct invalidation; the named consumer owns any request-prefix changes.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- Discovery is one level deep — only
<root>/<name>/SKILL.mdand<root>/<name>.mdare recognized; nested skill trees and package manifests are ignored. - Project scope is the nearest
.gitancestor — workspaces without that marker fall back to the supplied cwd, with no alternate project-root marker or monorepo subproject selection. - Unreadable or malformed entries disappear with a warning — the model catalog receives no per-skill diagnostic and cannot distinguish an absent skill from a skipped one.
- No filesystem watching — edits rely on the registry cache being evicted or invalidated by provider reload before a previously collected cwd is rediscovered.
