What it does
MattSkillsDeck is a plugin for DSH (DeepSeek Harness), a desktop app for working with AI. The plugin turns repository issues into a mission board in the sidebar: open, blocked and closed tasks sit in separate lanes and progress shows as rings. Each mission card works as a button: diagnose, fix, run, new session. The bundle includes skills from the mattpocock/skills repository, by its description 27 of them at version 1.3.2, so they need no separate install. The board works with GitHub and GitLab, and local Markdown exists as a preview. Edits to issues and labels go through your `gh` login: creating labels needs push access and label transitions need triage.
Who it is for. Developers working in DSH who track tasks in GitHub or GitLab issues and want to start the agent straight from a card.
Good fit when
- A visible board of open and blocked issues is wanted in the DSH sidebar.
- A diagnosis or a new agent session has to start from a task card.
- Comments and replies on issues are wanted without leaving for a terminal.
- Matt Pocock’s skills should be used without a manual install.
Not a fit when
- You do not work in DSH, while the plugin only runs in DeepSeek Harness.
- Your account has read-only access to the repository, so label and ticket edits are unavailable.
- A task board for Claude Code or Cursor is wanted.
Example request
Open the MattSkillsDeck board and start a diagnosis for a blocked task from the list.Limitations
DSH is required (`npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh`), and the install needs the `--profile` flag: `web` for `dsh web` or `desktop` for the app, and a wrong profile means the plugin never loads. Issue edits use your `gh` account’s rights: labels need push and transitions need triage, while read-only access leaves browsing only. The version is marked beta at 1.9.0-beta.34. Freshly published versions may be skipped by updates for a few hours because of a package manager policy.
How to disable. Run `dsh plugin --profile desktop remove dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` (or `--profile web`) and restart DSH.
FAQ
How do I install MattSkillsDeck?
Run `dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` for the app or `--profile web` for `dsh web`. Then restart the matching DSH entry once.
Why is `--profile` needed?
The plugin installs into the profile of the DSH entry you actually use. With a wrong profile it never loads, however often you restart.
Which task systems are supported?
GitHub and GitLab. Local Markdown exists as a preview.
Which repository rights are needed?
Creating labels needs push, and changing assignees and label transitions need triage. With read-only rights the board marks the repository as read-only.
What if the version is still old after updating?
Fully quit and reopen DSH or install the latest version from the registry: `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck@latest --registry https://registry.npmjs.org`.

README in short
The project presents the board as a bridge between the task map from Matt Pocock’s skills and its step-by-step execution. The README is in Chinese with an English version in `docs/README.en.md`. Install runs through `dsh plugin add`, and an AI can install the plugin from a ready prompt in the README.
