dsh-skillport

Every skill you already have — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI — works in DSH.

dsh-skillport is a DeepSeek Harness plugin bundle that makes DSH the next implementer of the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md). Anthropic released the spec in Dec 2025 and 30+ harnesses read it (Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot/VS Code, Goose, Windsurf); DSH did not. Skillport imports the whole existing ecosystem with zero migration: your .claude/skills/ library, your Cursor rules, your Claude Code slash commands all become DSH skills the moment the plugin loads.

What you get

Skills flow into the native skill registry (ctx.skills), so the platform's own catalog injection, progressive-disclosure index, and the skill loader tool surface them automatically. Registrations are Cordis effects: dsh plugin remove @dsh-skillport/bundle unloads every imported skill cleanly — a live demo of the platform's teardown model.

Why this shape

DSH already ships a full skill stack: a provider registry with rank-based dedup, catalog injection (names + descriptions in the system prompt), and a skill tool that loads bodies and resolves bundled file paths. Skillport's job is narrower and honest: discover the locations DSH does not cover, convert the adjacent formats, and make the result debuggable. That is exactly the spec's "check first — don't double-inject" instruction applied to the whole surface:

• .dsh/skills + .agents/skills are scanned by DSH's native dsh-skill-filesystem; skillport detects that provider and skips those sets (falling back to scanning them itself only when the native provider is absent, so the full table holds in any composition).
• The spec's "injection" (names + descriptions) and "use_skill" (load body + resolve resources) are the native dsh-tool-skill catalog and skill tool — skillport feeds them, it does not duplicate them.
• AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md are injected natively by dsh-agent-instructions; skillport takes over only when that plugin is absent.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @dsh-skillport/bundle

Then in a session: ask the model to load a skill you used to own in Claude Code — the catalog lists it and the skill tool loads it, bundled resources included.

Config

All fields optional (profile patch or cordis.patch.yml):

plugins:
  dsh-skillport:
    sources: [dsh, claude, agents, gemini]   # which discovery sets to scan
    extraPaths: []                            # extra SKILL.md dirs (e.g. ~/skills, a shared drive)
    convert:
      cursorRules: true                       # .cursor/rules/*.mdc → skills
      contextFiles: true                      # AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md (skipped when DSH handles natively)
      claudeCommands: true                    # .claude/commands/*.md → user-invokable skills
    maxIndexEntries: 100                      # prompt-bloat cap: beyond this, skillport's model-invocable
                                              # candidates become user-invocable only (find_skill surfaces them)
    providerName: skillport                   # provider name in the skill registry

Skills doctor

Trigger-quality is the fuzzy failure mode: skills tuned for Claude's triggering habits may fire differently on DeepSeek models. Skillport turns that into a debuggable surface.

In-session (/skills doctor [<description>]):

/skills doctor
## project-claude (1)
- commit-helper — Craft conventional-commit messages from staged changes.
## project-dsh (1)
- deploy — Deploy the application to staging or production with rollback.

/skills doctor deploy the app to production
Test-fire: "deploy the app to production"
- deploy [skillport/project-dsh] score=0.83
    "Deploy the application to staging or production with rollback."

Terminal (no DSH session needed):

skills-doctor --cwd ~/work/projectx list
skills-doctor --cwd ~/work/projectx test-fire "deploy the app to production"

Pinned spec revision

The Agent Skills format is young and versioned. Skillport pins the revision it implements — see docs/spec-revision.md — and ships a conformance fixture suite (missing fields, unicode names, nested resources) so spec drift fails loudly in CI.

Non-goals (deliberately)

• Claude Code plugins / hooks / subagents — executable host-specific semantics; porting prose-and-scripts is honest, pretending to port hook systems is a bug factory.
• MCP config translation — out of scope.
• Codex / Cursor extension binaries — out of scope.
• Skillport never gets its own execution path: skills that carry scripts run through DSH's normal shell tool inside its sandbox, so the sandbox policy stays the single enforcement point.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test        # 60 tests: spec conformance, discovery, dedup, converters,
                 # doctor, find_skill, plugin integration, CLI, goldens

Fixtures: test/fixtures/ holds one skill per source format, conformance edge cases, and the checked-in goldens for the injected index + doctor report.
