dsh-plugin-guide SKILL.md skillA

dsh-plugin-guide from perrylink/dsh-plugin-guide is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add perrylink/dsh-plugin-guide/dsh-plugin-guide@git:20261108.9f0a8a1

Pins git:20261108.9f0a8a1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when designing, reviewing, or improving a DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin and you need the ENTRY / FLOW / BOOST quality layers, check routing, or evidence rules. Routes conformance checks to dsh-standards and the legacy build workflow to dsh-primer.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DSH Plugin Guide

This skill is a **guide**, not a judge. It explains the three DSH layers and
routes work to the tool that owns the verdict.

## Read first

Read `docs/levels.md` before answering a “which level / is this good?” question.
Before a plugin is published, walk `docs/release-checklist.md`.
It defines the three layers and the difference between a check and advice.

## The three layers

1. **ENTRY — can it be recognized, installed, and started?**
   - Checkable compatibility gate.
   - Use `dsh-standards`; do not infer a pass from the manifest alone.
   - `recognized` is not the same as `runtime`; `static` is not a pass.

2. **FLOW — can a user install, configure, use, upgrade, and remove it without
   fighting it?**
   - J1–J8 user journeys.
   - Runtime evidence is required for a runtime claim; `not-run` is not a pass.
   - The flow harness is still a draft; report its limits honestly.

3. **BOOST — does it use Cordis well?**
   - LEV-1–8 practices: effects, inject/get, volatile config, event modes,
     seams, stable prompt prefixes, bounded parallel/jobs, composition.
   - This is a **practice library**, not a grade. It has evidence cards, not a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add perrylink/dsh-plugin-guide/dsh-plugin-guide@sha256:647b6af8040b5d9a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.9f0a8a1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
