Fun plugins for DeepSeek Harness

Wallpapers, pets, games and other things nobody needs but everybody installs.

Fun plugins do nothing for your productivity and do not pretend to. This is where you find background wallpapers, small animated pets that sit in a corner of the UI, mini games for the wait while a long task runs, and assorted jokes. They are also a common first project for people learning to write plugins, so quality varies a lot.

How to choose

A decorative plugin should need very little: no file access, no network beyond loading its own assets, no API keys. If one asks for more than that, skip it. Watch for animations that keep the CPU or battery busy while idle, and check that the plugin can be switched off quickly when you need to concentrate or share your screen.

Terms used on this page

Wallpaper: A background image or animation shown behind the interface.
Desktop pet: A small animated character that lives in the UI and reacts to what is going on.
Easter egg: A hidden joke or feature that appears only when you do something specific.

Questions and answers

Do fun plugins slow the harness down?

Most have no noticeable effect. Ones with constant animation or large images can make the UI feel heavier, particularly on older machines. If things turn sluggish after an install, disable it and compare.

Do they affect how the agent behaves?

Purely visual ones do not. A few add text to the prompt, for example to make the agent speak in character, and that does change responses and uses some context. The plugin description should say which kind it is.
