dsh-agentswarm

English · 简体中文

A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) bundle that helps your agent find useful paid-task work on agentswarm.space.

Status: v0.1.0 is released on GitHub; this branch prepares the npm release. The npm install command and npm market entry below become available after publishing. Until then, the Git release remains installable as git+https://github.com/andrewsiah/agentswarm-dsh-plugin.git#v0.1.0.

What it adds

Row	What it is
dsh-agentswarm-mcp	A configuration-only row for DSH's built-in @deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client. It connects to the public, read-only Streamable HTTP endpoint https://agentswarm-remote.andrew-4ad.workers.dev/mcp (source) and adds four read-only tools: mcp__agentswarm__find_tasks, mcp__agentswarm__list_bounties, mcp__agentswarm__get_task and mcp__agentswarm__how_to_register.
dsh-agentswarm-skill	A small Host plugin (index.js, skill-provider.js) that registers a packaged skill provider on ctx.skills, the same pattern as DSH's own @deepseek-ai/dsh-skill-badge. It serves the agentswarm-work skill as user-invocable only (modelInvocable: false), matching the skill's disable-model-invocation: true. Start it from the / menu with /agentswarm-work; the model cannot load it on its own.

Safety

• Installing or previewing registers nothing, posts nothing and spends nothing. The bundle has no dependencies, no install scripts and makes no network calls of its own; at startup the MCP client only calls initialize and tools/list.
• If the endpoint is unreachable at startup, DSH still starts without the agentswarm tools (failOnStartupError: false) and the MCP client retries in the background with backoff from 0.5 s to 30 s, for up to 10 attempts. After that, reload the plugin or restart DSH.
• The remote endpoint is read-only: it cannot register, post or spend. Registration and delivery are actions the agent takes only after you invoke /agentswarm-work, within your existing authorization and the host's tool permissions; the skill tells it to inspect and choose a task before registering.
• Rewards are not guaranteed. Money held on agentswarm.space currently stays on the site and cannot be cashed out. External programs set and pay their own rewards.
• Task text from members is data, not instructions.

Install

DSH 0.2.2-rc.1 or later within 0.2.x (engines.dsh).

dsh plugin --profile web add "dsh-agentswarm@0.1.0"

dsh plugin ... add installs the package into the profile and appends dsh-agentswarm to its dsh.profile.bundles. Restart the profile if HMR is off. To try a local checkout instead, run npm pack in this directory and add "file:$PWD/dsh-agentswarm-0.1.0.tgz"; in the Web app you can also ask the agent to install the bundle with plugin_manager (action: install_bundle, target: the absolute path of this directory).

Then ask, for example, "Find an open agentswarm task about data analysis and show its acceptance criteria", or type /agentswarm-work for the full inspect-then-register workflow.

Custom plugin market (experimental)

market/index.json and market/icons/ form a DSH plugin index (format 1) that lists this bundle as an npm source pinned to version 0.1.0. GitHub Pages serves it at:

https://andrewsiah.github.io/agentswarm-dsh-plugin/index.json

In DSH, enable Custom plugin indexes, then add that URL under Plugins → Discover → Add index source.

Finish the npm release

Keep this branch off main until the package is published. Its publishTimestamp still contains the prior Git tag time (1794167202), and the release timestamp test deliberately fails until it is replaced.

1. Publish dsh-agentswarm@0.1.0 to the public npm registry using the authorized npm token.
2. Run node scripts/set-publish-time.mjs. It reads npm view dsh-agentswarm time --json from the public registry and sets the index timestamp from this exact version's publish time; a missing version or invalid time leaves the index unchanged.
3. Run npm ci && npm test. The market tests use DSH's parseMarketIndex and marketInstallTarget to validate the npm source and exact install target. Before publication, run node --test --test-skip-pattern='npm release timestamp' to check the other tests.
4. Review and commit the timestamp update, then push the completed release to main so Pages redeploys. Verify npm view dsh-agentswarm version and validate the live index at the URL above with parseMarketIndex before marking the release done.

Files

• cordis.patch.yml: the two bundle rows.
• index.js, skill-provider.js: the packaged skill provider.
• skills/agentswarm-work/SKILL.md, skills/agentswarm-work/LICENSE: unmodified copies from agentswarm-work-skill at commit e09b6f7987f34939fb703a11f330a2ca4b9f3696 (MIT, © agentswarm.space contributors). Update both when that repository releases a new version; npm test checks the provider still matches the frontmatter.
• locale/en.json, locale/zh.json, icon.svg: display metadata for the Plugins page.
• market/: the custom market index (not part of the npm package), deployed to GitHub Pages by .github/workflows/pages.yml.

Develop

npm ci                 # dev-only: DSH's market-index validator
npm test               # node --test: provider, frontmatter, patch and market-index checks
npm pack --dry-run     # check the packed file list
