dsh-media-desk: A Social Media Content Desk for DeepSeek Harness

What Does It Do?

Media Desk is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that turns a one-line idea into a finished social media post. It solves three everyday problems for creators: ideas that slip away, scripts that take too long, and no feedback after publishing. From a single sidebar page you can capture an idea, then generate a spoken script, title, video cover, illustrations and a six-panel storyboard in one pass. It is an open-source community plugin under the MIT license, built by a Xiaohongshu tech creator, and all content stays on your own machine.

Core Features

• One-click drafting: opening an idea generates the title, script, video cover, illustrations and six-panel storyboard at the same time, filling the page as it goes.
• Conversational editing: say something like "make it more direct" or "switch shot 3 to a top-down view" and the right side updates live, with every step undoable.
• Idea wall: text, links, images, videos and quotes each become a card, arranged on an infinite canvas or as a chronological feed.
• Scheduling and review: drag a finished draft onto a calendar day to schedule it; record performance data manually, paste a CSV or fetch your own account, then push the resulting advice into your writing rules.
• Style presets: 8 categories and 15 creator presets ship built in, and you can distill your own style card from your account or a few past drafts.

How to Use This Plugin?

After enabling it in DSH, a Media Desk entry appears in the sidebar; the first launch shows sample data, which you clear with the button in the top-right corner. The daily loop is simple: jot an idea on the wall, open it to draft everything at once, refine it through the chat panel, then drag the draft onto the scheduling calendar. Scripts run on the model you already configured in DeepSeek Harness. Covers, illustrations and storyboard images need your own image-generation API key entered in the plugin settings; any service compatible with the OpenAI images endpoint works, and a test-draw button confirms the connection. Without an image model the plugin still works, falling back to a text-only cover. Finished drafts can be copied as a script or saved as a folder with all images, by default under your local Documents directory, and all content data lives locally, shared between the desktop and web builds.

How to Troubleshoot This Plugin?

If the terminal cannot find the dsh command, choose the manage-command option from the desktop app menu and retry per the official instructions. If the sidebar entry is missing after installing the desktop build, the app was usually not fully quit beforehand; quit it as described in the official guide and reopen, while the web build needs a service restart. When image generation fails or the cover comes out text-only, the image endpoint is not connected: check the address and key in settings and use the test-draw button. If fetching your account fails, confirm the local fetching service is set up per the official instructions and that the link points to your own public profile; missing view counts on Xiaohongshu and Douyin are platform limits, and review falls back to engagement metrics.
