How to install, update, and toggle agent plugins from npm or Git with Dshcode

Add new agent capabilities by installing plugins, checking for updates, and enabling or disabling each one.

Who it is forA power user or developer who wants to add skills or tools to their DSHCode agent without changing the app itself.

The problemAdding new agent capabilities often requires modifying the application, which is risky and slows down upgrades.

The outcomeOne or more plugins installed from an npm package or Git repository, with update checks and per-plugin enable or disable controls.

What you need first

  • A DeepSeek API key from the official API
  • macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows x64
  • For source builds only: git, pnpm, and Node.js

Steps

  1. Open the built-in plugin installer in DSHCode.
  2. Install a plugin from an npm package name or a Git repository URL.
  3. Enable the plugin, then start a session and confirm the new capability appears.
  4. Check for updates later from the plugin manager, and disable any plugin you no longer need.

Prompt for your agent

In the DSHCode app, install the plugin <npm package or Git URL> using the built-in plugin installer, enable it, and report its name and version. Verify that it appears in the plugin list and that the app still starts after a restart.

Caveat. The README does not list specific plugins, so you must supply a plugin source yourself, and its quality and safety depend on that source.
