DeepSeek Harness Plugin Ecosystem Hits 2,560 Confirmed Plugin Repos in 72 Hours — and Only 860 Actually Run
A community 'radar' repo (AdamPlatin123/awesome-dsh-plugins) is scanning GitHub every 6 hours and dynamically testing DSH plugins on a dedicated Kubernetes cluster; its 2026-08-16T12:09Z snapshot indexes 2,855 candidate repos, confirms 2,560 as DSH plugins, has tested 1,305, and classifies only 860 as runtime-usable against 394 outright incompatible. GitHub's own topic counts corroborate the scale: `topic:dsh-plugin` returns 4,901 repos and `topic:deepseek-harness` 3,490, three days after the harness itself shipped on August 13. The curated companion list (awesome-dsh-plugin, 4,049 stars, CC0) leads with an unusual warning that installing a plugin runs third-party code with your full permissions and that tool approvals do not sandbox plugin code — a supply-chain problem arriving faster than the ecosystem's ability to vet it.
