dsh-technical-writer

dsh-technical-writer

A DeepSeek Harness bundle plugin that provides a technical writing skill for producing clear, well-structured documentation.

What It Does

This plugin injects the technical-writer skill into your DSH agent, enabling it to produce:

• Guides and tutorials (learning-oriented)
• API docs and reference pages (information-oriented)
• How-to guides (task-oriented)
• READMEs and release notes (all types)

The skill is based on the Diátaxis framework — a systematic approach to technical documentation that classifies content by reader need.

Installation

From Local Directory

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add ./dsh-technical-writer

From Git Repository

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add "github:<owner>/<repo>#main&path:/plugins/dsh-technical-writer"

Structure

├── package.json              # dsh.bundle manifest
├── cordis.patch.yml          # Plugin registration

How It Works

• The plugin declares itself as a dsh.bundle in package.json
• cordis.patch.yml registers the plugin with the DSH container
• index.js provides the plugin entry point
• skills/technical-writer/SKILL.md contains the full skill documentation

Skill Usage

When installed, the agent can load the technical-writer skill on demand. The skill guides the agent through:

• Identifying the reader — Who is this for? What do they need?
• Choosing document type — Tutorial, how-to, reference, or explanation
• Planning architecture — Information flow and structure
• Writing drafts — Clear, concise, example-driven prose
• Editing for clarity — Plain language, active voice, short sentences
• Verifying quality — Readability, link checks, example testing
