dsh-find-plugin

English | 中文

A plugin that finds plugins — think /find-skills from skills.sh, for DSH.

Tell your agent what you want ("notify me on WeChat when a task finishes"), and it searches the DSH plugin ecosystem on GitHub for you — top results by stars, each with a one-line description and an install command.

Install

# from npm (prebuilt, recommended)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-find-plugin

# or from GitHub
dsh plugin --profile web add github:awesome-dsh-plugin/dsh-find-plugin

Usage

Restart dsh web after installing, then just talk to the agent — it calls find_dsh_plugin on its own whenever plugin discovery helps:

• "What terminal TUI plugins are there?"
• "I want to get a WeChat notification when a task finishes — any plugin for that?"
• "Find me something for reviewing git diffs inside DSH."

Each result comes back with stars, a description, the repo link, and a ready-to-run dsh plugin add command — ask the agent to install one and it can run the command for you.

How it works

• Live GitHub repository search scoped to the official dsh-plugin topic, re-ranked by stars (5-minute per-query cache).
• When a result is also listed on awesome-dsh-plugin, its hand-written bilingual description from plugins.json replaces the GitHub one (the lang parameter picks the language) — ranking is untouched.
• Every result comes with a ready-to-run dsh plugin add command. Plugins are third-party code — review the source and pin a commit.

Rate limits and offline fallback

GitHub's search API allows only 10 requests/minute per public IP when unauthenticated, and that quota is shared by every host behind the same egress IP (carrier CGNAT, corporate NAT, …), so a search can fail with HTTP 403 for reasons outside your control. The plugin therefore:

• uses the GITHUB_TOKEN DSH credential when one is configured (30 req/min, account-scoped, immune to shared-IP exhaustion). Optional — without it the tool still works, just closer to the anonymous limit;
• retries a rate-limited (403/429) or failed request once, then degrades instead of failing: it falls back to keyword matches from the curated list and says so in the result note;
• caches the curated list on disk ($DSH_HOME/cache/dsh-find-plugin/) and revalidates it with If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since, so restarts and offline runs use the full ~3400-entry list instead of the small bundled snapshot.
• says why a request failed. Node reports every transport failure as a bare fetch failed and hides the useful part in cause, so the plugin surfaces the chain (fetch failed ← certificate has expired (CERT_HAS_EXPIRED)) and names the one trap that otherwise looks like a plugin bug: a system proxy or VPN accelerator, which Node's fetch ignores unless DSH itself was started with NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 (or --use-env-proxy). A browser has no such rule — which is why GitHub opens fine and this still fails.
