WorkDSH adds skills, experts, connectors, team activity, browser/computer use, and editable Office deliverables to the native DeepSeek Harness task experience. You stay in one conversation while the work appears beside it as a real document, spreadsheet, presentation, PDF, webpage, or connected-service result.
Think of it as an independent open-source alternative for a WorkBuddy-style workflow: assign a real job, watch the work unfold, intervene when needed, and receive editable artifacts. WorkDSH is built independently for DeepSeek Harness and is not an official WorkBuddy release.
Real local preview: the conversation, delivered files, and an editable HTML dashboard remain in the same task. Example data and costs belong to the user's test workspace.
Attach your material and ask in plain language:
Review this budget workbook. Flag every missing assumption, show the findings in a dashboard, and deliver the HTML file.
WorkDSH can keep the source material, model conversation, live result, revisions, and final file together. You can inspect the work, edit it yourself, then ask the AI to continue from the latest saved version.
Already using the Harness 0.1.6-alpha.1 Web Profile? Install the modules you need from Releases, or jump to the quick start. WorkDSH uses the official dsh plugin lifecycle rather than a second runtime.
| You need | WorkDSH behavior | Result |
|---|---|---|
| A report, brief, or dashboard | Reads the task material, writes in visible batches, and keeps revisions | Editable HTML, Word, PDF, or Markdown working copy within the supported format scope |
| A presentation | Creates or imports a PPTX working copy, edits slides, and keeps human changes | Editable PPTX with download; complex-template fidelity still requires review |
| A spreadsheet | Opens a workbook beside the task and preserves supported values and formulas | Editable XLSX working copy with format-specific limits |
| Repeatable expertise | Installs or creates Markdown skills with resources; experts pin reviewed revisions | Reusable skills and explicit expert identities instead of one-off prompts |
| Connected services | Adds independent MCP instances, keeps credentials in the official credential service, and selects tools per conversation | A visible connector name beside the prompt and only that connector's MCP namespace in the task |
| Team execution | Shows the team, members, active state, and task activity in the conversation | A visible collaboration trail; complete TM-01 real-model acceptance is still in progress |
 Live PPT work Review the reasoning and edit slides in the same task. |
 Skills as managed capabilities Discover, inspect, install, edit, disable, and recover skills. |
 Native Agent Team and live WorkDSH status stay visible together The native panel owns members, shared tasks, dependencies, and navigation. The Siri-style strip keeps the current team state visible and animates its colored edge while work is running. |
|
 Real browser action, evidence, then human control In this real WorkDSH task, the agent searched JD, added the selected product to the cart, presented the result and screenshot together, and stopped before checkout. |
|
 Connect one service to one conversation Tencent Docs is selected only for this task, its name stays visible beside the prompt, and the answer comes from real MCP tool calls. |
 Real MCP lifecycle and discovery The official Harness MCP client connected to Tencent Docs and discovered 224 tools; the token stays in the official credential service. |
| Characteristic | What you experience |
|---|---|
| Open-source WorkBuddy-style workflow | The task, visible process, human checkpoints, and editable result stay together in an implementation you can inspect, install, and extend. |
| Real deliverables | Supported outputs are saved as working copies and downloadable files. A failed tool call is never presented as a finished file. |
| Live human–AI editing | Open a result, correct it directly, and let the model continue from the latest saved revision. |
| Reusable professional capability | Skills carry instructions and resources; experts bind reviewed skill revisions and an explicit identity instead of relying on a one-off role prompt. |
| Conversation-scoped connectors | Enable multiple MCP instances globally, then choose exactly which connected service a conversation may use. A new conversation starts with none selected. |
| Visible team activity | The conversation can show the expert team, active member, handoff, and task state. Full TM-01 real-model acceptance remains in progress. |
| Native Harness workflow | Tasks, models, attachments, permissions, queues, skills, and plugin loading remain owned by Harness; WorkDSH extends public services and UI slots. |
| Independent plugin delivery | Skills, experts, Office, activity, governance, and presentation are versioned separately, so a Profile installs only what it needs. |
The latest public Web preview was verified on Harness 0.1.6-alpha.1, Node.js 22.23.2, and macOS through packaged installation and cold-start checks. Skills, individual experts, MCP connectors, Office working copies, browser/computer use, and collaboration activity are available as alpha modules.
This remains a development preview. Real-model acceptance for complete expert-team workflows, arbitrary Office fidelity, and multi-platform behavior is not finished. The default listener is local; this repository does not claim a production-ready internet-facing multi-tenant deployment. Exact versions, checksums, limits, and evidence are documented below.
WorkDSH follows Harness's own extension model: official Loader + Profile + Cordis, standard Host/Client entry points, and documented UI Slots. It uses published Harness packages and requires no upstream source checkout.
| Principle | What it means |
|---|---|
| Install capabilities independently | Skill ships its own configuration layer, Host service, Client module, and prebuilt .tgz. The presentation package is optional. |
| Compose through public contracts | Plugins collaborate through injected services. workdsh-contracts/skills exposes the Skill service contract for future consumers such as experts. |
| Keep the native runtime | Harness owns conversations, workspaces, model execution, skill discovery and invocation, and plugin loading. WorkDSH contributes management workflows and UI. |
| Version each module separately | Skill stays on its own 0.1 line. A presentation update does not force a Skill version change. |
| Preserve user content | Removing the Skill plugin preserves skill files and management data. Uninstalling an individual skill uses the recoverable management workflow. |

A feature plugin is an installable software module. A skill is a user-managed SKILL.md with optional resources. One Skill plugin manages many skills; creating a skill does not require publishing an npm package.
| Workflow | Available behavior |
|---|---|
| Browse | Global local-skill list, search, full SKILL.md, resource files, and invalid-skill diagnostics. |
| Create and try | Prepare a native task with /skill-creator or /skill-name; keep attachments, /, @, model selection, permissions, and sending. |
| Import | .zip, .md, or folders; inspect files, validate format and paths, confirm scope, then install atomically. Import does not execute included scripts. |
| Edit | Edit documents and text resources, detect revision conflicts, save, and rediscover. Directory reveal uses the native Host capability. |
| Manage | Enable/disable, check registered dependency impact, batch operations, recoverable uninstall, and restore. |
| Recover | Preserve edits and management state across tested cold restarts; cancel uploads and retry failed imports. |
Skill details and standalone installation
Standalone installation retains Harness branding and native navigation. The optional presentation bundle adds WorkDSH branding and its dark theme.
Each installable module has a matching GitHub prerelease, versioned package, SHA-256 checksums, and release manifest. These are prebuilt artifacts; npm registry publication has not been performed.

Workbench alpha.10 is currently delivered within the presentation bundle. Shared UI, contracts, and the local identity/access/audit foundation are supporting packages, not standalone end-user downloads. See the complete module map.
Use Node.js 22.19+ on the 22 LTS line, or Node 24+, pnpm 10.34.5, and the official Harness CLI 0.1.6-alpha.1. These commands assume dsh resolves to that CLI, rather than an older desktop launcher.
For the complete product, download every asset from project release v0.1.0-alpha.5 into one directory. Stop the target profile, cd to that directory, and use the checksum-verifying installer:
node install-workdsh.mjs --profile workdsh
dsh --profile workdshUse --dry-run to inspect the commands. The equivalent manual installation is:
dsh --profile workdsh --from-default-profile web --dump-config
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-provider-identity-local-0.1.0-alpha.5.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-audit-0.1.0-alpha.4.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-access-0.1.0-alpha.5.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-skills-0.1.0-alpha.29.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-experts-0.1.0-alpha.3.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-connectors-0.1.0-alpha.1.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-activity-0.1.0-alpha.2.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-plugin-office-0.1.0-alpha.5.tgz"
dsh plugin --profile workdsh add "$PWD/workdsh-bundle-0.1.0-alpha.45.tgz"
dsh --profile workdshVerify the downloads against SHA256SUMS first. workdsh-plugin-experts composes the official Harness Agent Team Host, nine Team tools, and Client panel; after installation, Agent Team appears in the conversation header. Installing only Skills and the presentation bundle does not install Experts, Team, Connectors, or Office.
Open 专家 · 技能 · 连接器 in the sidebar to manage experts, skills, and connectors. Model-backed execution requires your own Harness model configuration.
Follow the official dsh plugin … add flow. GitHub's Source code archives are source snapshots; install the named .tgz assets. Installation and removal are verified with the Host stopped and restarted, not as complete live CLI hot-unload operations.

Built on DeepSeek Harness; interaction references include WorkBuddy. WorkDSH is an independent project, not an official product of either team.
User-provided screenshot of the current application, showing categories, search, installed-skill management and installation from a local catalog. Third-party skill names and icons belong to their respective providers; they do not demonstrate completed connector integrations. Task names and spending figures are local user state, not bundled defaults.
The current Office development candidate keeps pptx-react-viewer as its sole PPT editor, integrated with the native results panel and shared Office content service. It supports incremental slide writing, human editing, native chart data, saved working copies and PPTX download. Chinese UI, template fidelity, and real-model visual quality are still being improved. See PPT integration evidence.
The current source candidate can open a self-contained HTML page in the native results panel before AI updates its saved revisions. PDF creation supports Chinese text, page updates, preview, manual text changes and actual PDF download/file delivery. PDF rendering uses bundled libraries and an embedded font; end users do not need Python for this PDF workflow. Existing arbitrary PDF import, OCR and image editing are not supported. These additions are source-development features and do not change the older Word-only release archives.
See HTML working copies and PDF working copies for implementation scope and acceptance boundaries.
Generate a self-contained HTML dashboard from task materials, preview the finished page in the native results panel, and receive the HTML files through native deliverable cards. This user-provided screenshot shows a budget dashboard with parameter cards, section navigation and missing-information notices, alongside the delivered dashboard and index.html files. It shows local file preview; conversation names, paths and figures belong to this example.
Public expert creation is reusable across domains, with methods, real Skill selection, explicit UI publication and native task trials. Model-generated content still needs user review; synthetic professional evaluations document limitations rather than guaranteeing every answer. See current evidence.
Office alpha.5 prerelease and installable archive
User-provided application screenshot showing incremental AI slide editing in the native results panel. This existing conversation still contains earlier export guidance; the new PPTX content_export implementation is described in the source and has not yet passed a real-session file-card acceptance test.
2026-09-14 development-candidate notes
A compact activity strip shows the native task state and the current skill, alongside the original conversation and live HTML working copy. Its colored border animates while processing; animations can be disabled and respect reduced-motion preferences. The strip is centered and uses half the available width on wide screens.
Expert-team sessions carry the team name and activity state. Member activity appears when native child sessions exist; the team label alone does not prove multiple members are executing. This example shows zero child agents at the captured moment.
Team details show capabilities, starter requests, the lead and members. Saved drafts remain separate from published revisions; summoning uses the published revision until changes are explicitly published. These are user-provided local preview screenshots, including example task names, paths and spending figures; they document the development candidate rather than the older downloadable releases.

WorkDSH explicitly takes WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy as a product-experience reference: a real task should expose its process and end in an editable artifact. Skill-market organization, grouped toolbars, and PPT design guidance also draw on those experiences. WorkDSH is an independent open-source implementation for DeepSeek Harness; it does not reuse WorkBuddy branding or claim an official partnership, endorsement, or Tencent PPT engine integration.
