One plugin, three ways to work

What you want	Where to start	What it needs
Generate an image	Images → Generate in the sidebar	Desktop 0.2.1+; a provider. Flux via Pollinations is configured as keyless.
Find or reuse a result	Images → Works	The page stores up to 60 recent entries in local storage
Describe or inspect an image	Ask for vision-review, or use a compatible image model in chat	A configured vision provider for the skill, or an image-capable chat model for native attachments

The sidebar page and media-tools use the same generation script. vision-review is a separate image review skill.

Quick start

1. In DeepSeek Harness Desktop, open Plugins → Add plugin, enter dsh-media-skills, and install it. Or use the desktop profile:

   dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-media-skills
   

2. Restart DSH. On Desktop 0.2.1+, open Images in the sidebar.

3. Enter a prompt, select Flux (Pollinations), and generate. This path does not require a key; availability, image size and rate limits depend on the provider.

4. Open Works to revisit a result. To use another provider, configure it under Image key.

The two skills are registered with the plugin. Image review through vision-review requires a configured vision provider; a keyless image-generation option does not automatically supply image understanding.

First run: this repository does not control third-party availability or pricing. If Flux is unavailable, check the provider status or configure another supported provider.

The Images page

Interface illustration. The sample picture is a placeholder, not a generated result; the actual page and available models can differ.

Choose a prompt, model, aspect ratio and canvas size. The result card shows the image and its settings. The page also has a Works tab for revisiting images, copying prompts, reusing settings and deleting files.

Image review

Ask the agent to use vision-review to describe a local image, inspect a UI screenshot, or produce structured observations. The script supports configured vision providers and a fallback chain; see vision-review/SKILL.md.

Native chat attachments are a separate DSH feature: the currently selected model must accept image input. If a text-only model rejects an attachment, switch to an image-capable model or use a local file path with a configured vision-review provider. Installing this plugin does not turn a text-only model into a vision model.

Privacy & providers

• The plugin does not bundle API keys. Panel-managed keys are stored locally in ~/.dsh/secrets/media-tools.env; the code requests file mode 600 where supported.
• The prompt and relevant request parameters go to the provider you select. Image review sends the image to the configured vision provider. Custom endpoints are chosen by you.
• Generated files are saved in the local workspace. The page keeps up to 60 recent entries in local storage. Deleting an entry attempts to delete its file; if file deletion fails, the entry is still removed and the file can remain. Provider data-handling rules still apply.
• Free tiers, limits, watermarks, models and terms can change. Consult the provider before sending sensitive content or depending on a free service.

Troubleshooting

• No Images page: the page requires Desktop 0.2.1+ and a restart after installation. The skills can be used separately on supported older hosts; see compatibility notes.
• Generation fails: check the selected provider, network, account balance and rate limits. The panel reports common HTTP errors where available.
• An image attachment is rejected: verify the current chat model supports image input, or use the file-path review workflow with a configured vision provider.
• Need a diagnostic for image review: run python3 skills/vision-review/scripts/vision.py --doctor from the repository. Some checks may contact configured providers.
