## Problem
A repository that already contains reusable skills or an MCP server declaration should be usable by standalone Harness applications without becoming a Harness SDK project or rewriting its existing layout. Popular repositories must be able to add one `.dsh-plugin` directory while keeping their current skills and `.mcp.json` elsewhere in the tree. At the same time, treating an arbitrary repository entry point as a Cordis Plugin would make every repository a new unrestricted runtime extension surface and would bypass the existing skill and MCP lifecycle owners.
A repository that already contains reusable skills or an MCP server declaration should be usable by standalone Harness applications without becoming a Harness SDK project or rewriting its existing layout. Popular repositories must be able to add one `.dsh-plugin` directory while keeping their current skills and `.mcp.json` elsewhere in the tree. These portable static contributions still need to reuse the existing skill and MCP lifecycle owners when the same trusted package also carries native Cordis code.
The [package-manager-native repository cache](2026-07-30-package-manager-native-repository-cache.md) prepares an exact package source but intentionally knows nothing about DSH formats. This layer therefore needs a package-manager-compatible authoring format, a deterministic prepared artifact, and a Cordis composition that stays transactional under Loader disposal and replacement.
## Decision
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-repository-plugin` owns a restricted `.dsh-plugin` package format with two contribution kinds only: skill roots and one common `.mcp.json`. Its package metadata uses `package.json#dsh.skills` for relative skill-root paths and `package.json#dsh.mcpServers` for the relative MCP document path. At least one is required. Each path may leave `.dsh-plugin` to reuse repository content but must remain beneath the directory containing that `.dsh-plugin`; a nested selectable Plugin therefore owns the adjacent subtree above its package without gaining access to unrelated host paths.
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-repository-plugin` owns the static contribution subformat inside a `.dsh-plugin` package: skill roots and one common `.mcp.json`. Its package metadata uses `package.json#dsh.skills` for relative skill-root paths and `package.json#dsh.mcpServers` for the relative MCP document path. Each path may leave `.dsh-plugin` to reuse repository content but must remain beneath the directory containing that `.dsh-plugin`; a nested selectable Plugin therefore owns the adjacent subtree above its package without gaining access to unrelated host paths. The package may additionally declare the explicit code entry owned by the [trusted repository package decision](2026-08-08-trusted-repository-package-code.md), and at least one code or static contribution is required.
The `.dsh-plugin` package declares exact `scripts.prepack: "dsh-plugin-prepare"` metadata without depending on a DSH npm package. During Git installation, the standalone runtime temporarily supplies that command from its own build on the isolated lifecycle `PATH`; `prepack` runs after dependency installation and before pnpm packs a selected subdirectory, including a Plugin nested inside another package-manager workspace. The helper validates metadata and source types, strictly parses `.mcp.json`, copies static assets into `dsh-plugin-assets`, and writes `dsh-plugin.mjs`; the source loader revalidates the installed package's exact lifecycle metadata before importing that wrapper. The `.mjs` extension avoids imposing `type: module` on repository-authored package metadata. The generated module is a fixed import-free template containing only a normalized manifest, an `inject` list derived from it (`loader`, plus `skills` and/or `tools` per the declared capabilities, so the wrapper fiber gates on the services its children need), and delegation to the `dsh-repository-plugin` Loader builtin. Preparation never discovers, transpiles, bundles, or preserves a custom repository entry point. The host-owned command rationale is in the [Git source preparation repair](../bug-fix/2026-08-08-host-owned-git-repository-plugin-preparation.md).
The `.dsh-plugin` package declares a non-empty `scripts.prepack` that invokes `dsh-plugin-prepare` without depending on a DSH npm package. During Git installation, the standalone runtime temporarily supplies that command from its own build on the isolated lifecycle `PATH`; `prepack` runs after dependency installation and before pnpm packs a selected subdirectory, including a Plugin nested inside another package-manager workspace. The package may build its code first. The helper validates metadata and source types, strictly parses `.mcp.json`, copies static assets into `dsh-plugin-assets`, and writes `dsh-plugin.mjs`; the source loader revalidates the installed package's helper-bearing lifecycle metadata before importing that wrapper. A static-only package still receives an import-free wrapper containing its normalized manifest, service-derived `inject` list, and delegation to the `dsh-repository-plugin` Loader builtin. The host-owned command rationale is in the [Git source preparation repair](../bug-fix/2026-08-08-host-owned-git-repository-plugin-preparation.md).
Loading the DSH package registers that builtin as an effect. A generated wrapper mounts the builtin as its child with `import.meta.url`, so all contributions belong to the wrapper fiber and disappear on Loader removal or rollback. The builtin revalidates the prepared manifest and path containment before reading assets. It composes the existing implementations rather than registering skills or MCP tools itself.

Each `.mcp.json` server becomes one existing `dsh-mcp-client` child. The adapter accepts the common root `{ "mcpServers": ... }`; stdio definitions allow only optional `type: "stdio"`, `command`, `args`, and `env`, while HTTP definitions allow only `type: "http"`, `url`, and `headers`. Exact `${NAME}` process-environment references expand at runtime, after cache preparation; missing names fail Plugin load. HTTP maps to the client's Streamable HTTP transport, and stdio uses the prepared package directory as `cwd`. The existing client alone owns connection attempts, failure logging, remote tool synchronization, tool calls, and disconnects. Consequently an MCP connection failure keeps its established successful-plugin/no-tools behavior and is not reclassified as a repository preparation or Loader failure.
Unknown MCP fields reject. This intentionally excludes OAuth, `auth` objects, `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, and a broader Claude compatibility contract. Hooks, commands, agents, apps, arbitrary Cordis code, marketplaces, and discovery are also unsupported.

## Alternatives considered
**Load a repository's own Cordis entry point.** Rejected because it makes the advertised static format an unrestricted code-loading API, requires repository authors to depend on Harness internals, and duplicates the ordinary SDK/plugin-dependency path.
**Discover an entry from `main`, `exports`, or repository layout.** Rejected because static assets do not imply that a package's ordinary entry is a Cordis Plugin. Trusted code loading is explicit through `dsh.entry` and remains outside this static adapter's ownership.
**Teach generated wrappers to implement skills and MCP directly.** Rejected because copied runtime code would drift from `dsh-skill-local` and `dsh-mcp-client`, especially their provider invalidation, tool synchronization, failure, and teardown contracts.

## Consequences
- Existing skill/MCP repositories can add a small `.dsh-plugin/package.json` without relocating their assets or adopting an SDK project.
- Prepared output is deterministic static glue, while the configured repository and its dependency lifecycle remain trusted executable package-manager input rather than a sandbox.
- Prepared static output is deterministic glue, while an optional `dsh.entry` and the configured repository lifecycle remain trusted executable package-manager input rather than a sandbox.
- Multiple repository Plugins coexist through provider names and ordinary MCP server-name uniqueness; duplicate names fail through their existing registries and participate in Loader rollback.
- Cached source edits do not appear live. Another exact source/ref/path/config selection is required.
- Adding another contribution kind requires an explicit format and DSH-owned runtime consumer; it cannot arrive as repository JavaScript by accident.
- Adding another portable static contribution kind requires an explicit format and DSH-owned runtime consumer; DSH-native behavior uses the separate explicit code entry.
## Testing
Focused tests prepare skills and MCP metadata, prove the emitted wrapper contains no imports, reject Work IQ-style OAuth fields, map Expo-style HTTP and DataJunction-style stdio plus environment values, and exercise missing variables. A real Loader test mounts a generated wrapper through the registered builtin, reads its skill through `ctx.skills`, removes the Loader entry, and observes provider cleanup. The CI built-entry acceptance invokes `dsh run` with a GitHub source pinned to the pull request head, authenticates to the private pull request repository through job-scoped Git configuration, lets bundled pnpm fetch and prepare its dependency-free fixture, then observes the copied skill in the real model request and the prepared wrapper in the immutable cache.
