Canvas & Generative UI
dsh-openmaic
Slides, interactive widgets and full playable lessons, rendered from agent-written JSON.
What it is
Four tools and a Socratic-teaching skill from the THU-MAIC group: the agent writes PPTist-style slide JSON rendered by the official OpenMAIC renderer, streams interactive widgets as sandboxed cards, and can submit a one-line request that comes back as a playable classroom.
OpenMAIC for DeepSeek Harness: classrooms, slides, interactive widgets, and Socratic teaching
Why it matters for design
- Slide decks with text, shapes, images, tables, charts, formulas and code — written as JSON in the conversation.
- Interactive simulations and games render in place as sandboxed cards.
- A full lesson with visual content is one request away, returned as a playable link.

How to install
dsh-openmaic
-
Run this in a terminal.
dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/THU-MAIC/dsh-openmaic.git -
Restart dsh web so it picks up the plugin.
-
Then describe the design you want. The harness picks up the plugin’s tools.
How to run it with DeepSeek Harness
-
Add the plugin from GitHub; it ships compiled, so no build step.
-
Restart dsh web and ask for a deck or a widget.
-
For whole lessons, openmaic_generate polls the OpenMAIC service and returns the classroom link.
Every plugin here is free to install and links to its real upstream source.
