Dot Skill

Dot Skill is a DeepSeek Harness plugin distributed as a filesystem Skill rather than a Cordis Bundle. Its pinned README says that DeepSeek Harness discovers it natively when the repository is placed in either the global ~/.dsh/skills/dot-skill directory or a project .dsh/skills/dot-skill directory. In a DSH session, the documented entry point is /dot-skill. This listing records that declared distribution path; it does not imply that the repository contains a package manifest or a DSH patch.

The project describes a way to distill source material into Skills that represent working practices, a persona, or both. It organizes generated outputs around colleague, relationship, and celebrity families. The stated goal is not simply style imitation: the repository describes separate prompt and research structures for work patterns, personality, decision making, and source analysis. That can be useful for preserving a team playbook or building a reusable research aid, but it also makes the quality and legitimacy of input material central to the result.

For DeepSeek Harness users, the practical value is that an ordinary Skill directory can be evaluated without adding a Web-profile bundle or a browser client. A project-local placement may make sense when the material and resulting Skill belong only to one repository; a global placement has broader reach and therefore deserves more caution. The README names both locations but does not prescribe a security model, access policy, or retention policy for your inputs.

The repository is MIT-licensed, yet that license covers the code and project files, not rights in chat logs, emails, documents, screenshots, or public material you supply. Treat Dot Skill as a content-processing workflow. Obtain permission where appropriate, minimize sensitive material, inspect generated files before sharing them, and avoid presenting a generated persona as a real person or as an authoritative record of what that person would say.
