description: "Knowledge-work role skills for DeepSeek Harness: 225 skills across 22 switchable role plugins, ported from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins."

dsh-knowledge-work

English | 中文

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that adds 225 knowledge-work skills across 22 independently switchable role rows — sales, small business, finance, legal, data, engineering, design, marketing, operations, product, customer support, HR, bio-research, productivity, PDF reading, enterprise search, plugin authoring, plus Apollo, brand-voice, Common Room, Slack, and Zoom.

The skills come from Anthropic's open-source anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins (Apache-2.0); see ATTRIBUTION.md for what was ported and how.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness >= 0.2.1-rc.2 < 0.3.0 (declared as engines.dsh).
• A preset that exposes skill discovery and loading (the default presets do).

Install

Plugins page (Desktop / Web)

Open Plugins, choose to install a package from GitHub, and enter:

github:AlbertZJ/dsh-knowledge-work

The bundle is enabled right after installation. Its details page lists the 22 role rows, each with its own switch.

CLI

dsh plugin --profile web add github:AlbertZJ/dsh-knowledge-work
dsh --profile web --dump-config   # the layer appears as "# == dsh-knowledge-work"

No install-time build permission is needed: lib/ is committed to this repository and the package declares no prepare script, so pnpm has nothing to allowlist.

Pin a commit for reproducible installs:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:AlbertZJ/dsh-knowledge-work#<commit-sha>

From npm (after publishing)

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-knowledge-work

From a local checkout (development)

dsh plugin --profile dev add /absolute/path/to/dsh-knowledge-work

Use the skills

Enable the Knowledge-work skills bundle in Plugins, then turn roles on or off in the bundle's details page. Each role is a separate plugin row: switching one off unloads its provider and removes its skills from the catalog without touching the other rows. The switches persist in the profile patch layer.

A skill whose folder name appears in more than one role gets a <role>-<skill> prefix so names stay stable when neighbouring rows are switched off — for example sales-account-research and sales-call-prep (the same skill names also exist in Common Room).

Skills are loaded on demand by the model through the skill tool; their bodies are not part of every request until selected.

Roles

Row	Skills	Source
Bio research	6	first-party
Plugin management	2	first-party
Customer support	5	first-party
Data	10	first-party
Design	7	first-party
Engineering	10	first-party
Enterprise search	5	first-party
Finance	8	first-party
Human resources	9	first-party
Legal	9	first-party
Marketing	8	first-party
Operations	9	first-party
PDF viewer	1	first-party
Product management	8	first-party
Productivity	4	first-party
Sales	36	first-party
Small business	44	first-party
Apollo	3	partner-built
Brand voice	3	partner-built
Common Room	6	partner-built
Slack	2	partner-built
Zoom	30	partner-built
Total	225	252 SKILL.md files incl. nested sub-documents

Partner-built rows need their vendor's connector (Apollo, Common Room, Slack, Zoom). Without it the skill still loads and explains the workflow, but it cannot read or write partner data. Brand-voice works from uploaded material.

How it works

dsh-knowledge-work/
├── cordis.patch.yml     # bundle layer: one group row + 22 role rows
├── lib/                 # built entries (index.js + one <role>.js per role)
├── assets/<role>/<skill>/SKILL.md
├── locale/              # bundle title/description + per-row en/zh titles
└── src/                 # TypeScript sources the entries are built from

cordis.patch.yml inserts each role as its own Loader row named dsh-knowledge-work/<role>. Each entry registers a skill provider with the skills service and discovers <role>/<skill>/SKILL.md under assets/ at runtime. The package exports map serves the role subpaths and their locale files, which is how the Plugins page reads row titles without running the code.

Not ported: upstream .mcp.json connectors, slash commands, sub-agents, and plugin settings. See ATTRIBUTION.md.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run build    # tsc -> lib/types, tsdown -> lib/*.js, then remove lib/types
pnpm run verify   # counts, locale pairing, patch rows, and exports

lib/ is committed: git installs fetch sources and do not build them, so rebuild and commit lib/ together with any src/ change.
