`scripts/gen-cli-help.ts` runs the source `dsh` launcher with temporary Harness and Agents homes and captures the launcher, `dsh plugin`, and every shipped profile's text help (profile names come from `PROFILE_TEMPLATES`). It recursively discovers subcommands from each page's `Commands:` section, shows identical alias help once with every invocation, and writes `docs/cli-help.md`, its Chinese page, and their pairing record. The record resolves links between the two pages as written, so a first run already matches `verify-translation-pairing`. `verify-cli-help` checks all three files and runs as the `cli-help` doc-sync leaf, which the static CI lane also runs on an unbuilt tree. `dsh plugin` now owns `-h`/`--help` and reads its own options only before the forwarded pnpm arguments: `dsh plugin --help` prints its help instead of failing on the missing `--profile`, while everything after the pnpm command (including `-h`, `--help`, and `--profile`) reaches pnpm verbatim. A `--profile` placed after the pnpm command is no longer accepted; the v0.2.1-alpha.1 upgrade guide covers the migration. Refs #4114
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.
