Choose UI Extensions by Workflow and Outcome

Start with one of four interface workflows, compare the visual previews, then open a project detail to inspect its pinned source and setup path. The directory keeps discovery, source context, and project guidance together so you can choose by the outcome you need.

Understand the current directory scope

A UI Extension is an interface or interaction enhancement around DeepSeek Harness. The public directory currently contains 27 curated projects, each with a local preview, a pinned upstream source, and a detail page that explains the relevant setup and compatibility context.

Browse by the capability you need

TokenRoleCheck
Authoring and layoutEditors, studios, workspace layouts, and content composition aids.Inspect file writes, generated output, persistence, and keyboard access.
Access and navigationAccessibility, navigation, mobile, localization, and command-discovery improvements.Test focus, names, shortcuts, locale behavior, reduced motion, and small screens.
Feedback and visualizationRendering, diagrams, previews, motion, and visual state feedback.Check performance, fallback behavior, motion preferences, and data exposure.
Management UIControls for models, settings, plugins, sessions, MCP, and workspace state.Review every privileged action, confirmation, persistence, and rollback path.

Select and recommend with evidence

  1. 01

    Define the interface problem

    Describe the user, task, current failure, environment, and measurable improvement before choosing a record.

  2. 02

    Filter by capability and lane

    Use search, capability filters, and distribution status to reduce the set without treating a category as proof.

  3. 03

    Read the complete detail record

    Check the immutable source revision, license, asset and trademark disclosures, network behavior, risk disclosure, compatibility state, and rollback note.

  4. 04

    Review the pinned source

    Inspect executable code, dependencies, update history, permissions, persistence, and external requests at the exact admitted revision.

  5. 05

    Confirm the fit and open the setup path

    Compare the project requirements with your Harness version and workflow, then continue to the pinned source or documented project setup path.

Follow the project setup path

  • Open details: compare the preview, workflow tags, compatibility context, and project notes.
  • Open the pinned source: read the upstream setup instructions at the exact directory revision.
  • Use the project path: follow the upstream release or setup flow that matches your Harness environment.

Evaluate in a controlled workspace

  1. Use a disposable profile and an isolated environment without production credentials.
  2. Pin the exact source and dependency graph; record checksums before execution.
  3. Observe filesystem, process, network, storage, and browser-console behavior.
  4. Test light, dark, keyboard, reduced-motion, localization, restart, uninstall, and state restoration.
  5. Publish evidence only after the review policy explicitly admits the result.

What does this guide verify?

This guide covers: Current 27-record published UI Extensions directory; Capability and collection taxonomy; Preview, pinned-source, and project setup paths

What should I do first?

Start with one of four interface workflows, compare the visual previews, then open a project detail to inspect its pinned source and setup path. The directory keeps discovery, source context, and project guidance together so you can choose by the outcome you need.

Which boundary matters most?

Use the preview to judge visual fit, then open the pinned project source for its setup instructions, requirements, and latest maintenance context. The detail page keeps those handoffs close to the project instead of replacing them with generic warnings.
