A packaged application installs an Official on-demand bundle as `name@<running DSH version>`, and the plugin manager asks a custom registry alone, so the unsigned test DMG cannot install a locally built provider before its release reaches npm: each packed manifest still names the rest of the repository by version, and ordinary bundle tarballs therefore resolve against a registry that does not have them yet. `pnpm run dev:bundle-registry` validates the Official catalog and the workspace inventory, builds the official artifacts, packs the catalog's complete local dependency closure with the release families' own payload and manifest checks, records the run in `dist/test-bundles/<run-id>/bundle-registry.json` as its completion marker, and only then serves it from 127.0.0.1 on an allocated port under a fresh namespace. Repository-owned names are answered from this run or refused locally; third-party packages keep npm's real metadata and bytes through a fixed redirect. The run publishes nothing, changes no global npm/pnpm configuration, and leaves DMG packaging untouched. The packed installer rehearsal now installs that closure into an isolated profile with no `file:` override, checkout link, ignore list, or scoped registry standing in for a package the registry should answer, and it asserts a transitive repository package served only by this run.
DeepSeek Harness
English | 中文
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source agent harness developed by DeepSeek AI.
It is built on an everything-is-a-plugin architecture and powered by Cordis, whose design is described in A Programming Paradigm for Spatiotemporal Composability.
Documentation: https://deepseek-harness.github.io/deepseek-harness/
Developer preview
DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview and iterating rapidly. THERE WILL BE COMPATIBILITY-BREAKING CHANGES.
Review the safety notice before running the project.
Run
Run from npm
Install Node.js, then run:
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web
The command starts the Web UI at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default and opens it in the default browser for a local launch. An SSH launch only prints the host URL because the SSH client or editor owns the local forwarded address. Pass --no-open to run the server without opening a browser. See Web UI guide.
Run from source
To run from a repository checkout:
git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness.git
cd deepseek-harness
pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm dsh web
pnpm run build prepares the repository artifacts. pnpm dsh web uses those built artifacts without rebuilding.
Community and support
- Submit feedback or bug reports through GitHub Discussions.
- Add the
dsh-plugintopic to your plugin repository for discoverability. - Join DeepSeek Harness Discord community.
Contributing
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
Development
Start with the development guide and architecture documentation.
pnpm run dev:web builds, serves, and rebuilds client bundles on source edits in one terminal, and make help lists the matching Make targets for Web and Desktop; the guide's application commands section owns the full table.
For agents, follow AGENTS.md.
