dsh-win-toolkit

Part of the dsh-toolkit family: dsh-mcp-bridge · dsh-win-toolkit · dsh-netassist · dsh-driftwatch

Windows-native capability pack for DeepSeek Harness (dsh).

Gives your dsh agent real Windows superpowers — clipboard, system notifications, hosts file inspection, and network diagnostics — backed by safe, parameterized PowerShell. No extra installs, no admin rights required for the current toolset.

Check your environment first

dsh-win-toolkit doctor

It verifies the platform, PowerShell, execution policy, clipboard access, WScript.Shell COM and hosts readability — everything the tools rely on.

Requirements

OS	Windows 10 or 11 — the tools call powershell.exe
PowerShell	5.1+ (the default on Windows 10/11); PowerShell 7 works as well but is not required
Privileges	none for the current tools — everything is read-only except clipboard write and the notification popup
Node	22+ (for the plugin host)

Run dsh-win-toolkit doctor to verify all of the above on your machine before blaming the plugin.

Tools

Tool	What it does
win_clipboard_read	Read the current clipboard text
win_clipboard_write	Write text to the clipboard
win_notify	Show a system popup notification (auto-closes)
win_hosts_list	Read the Windows hosts file
win_netdiag	DNS resolution + TCP port test for any host

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-win-toolkit
dsh web   # restart

Then just ask your agent, e.g.:

• "check if github.com:443 is reachable" → win_netdiag
• "put this text on my clipboard" → win_clipboard_write
• "notify me when you're done" → win_notify

How it works

Every tool runs a short PowerShell snippet through powershell.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive. All user input crosses the script boundary as Base64 — never string-interpolated — so argument injection is structurally impossible.

• Config: psTimeoutMs (default 20000) — per-call PowerShell timeout, settable in your profile's cordis.patch.yml under the win-toolkit entry.
• Windows-only: tools fail loudly with a clear error on non-Windows platforms (the entry itself is a no-op there).

Roadmap

• win_hosts_edit (admin-gated hosts entries), win_env, win_service, win_window, win_task, win_netdiag deep mode (proxy check, DNS server, traceroute).

Troubleshooting

• Tools fail with "PowerShell failed": usually an anti-virus or execution-policy quirk — the plugin uses -NoProfile -NonInteractive but policy still applies. Check Get-ExecutionPolicy; the plugin does not require RemoteSigned.
• Want to see exactly what runs? The PowerShell snippets are short and readable in src/index.ts.
