Product dropped Harness-home cleanup from the uninstaller, so the opt-in page, its bilingual dialog, the uninstall.ini home record and the overlap check go away. The uninstaller now always removes the Electron user-data directory, the %APPDATA% product directory and the updater cache through the native helper; the Harness home is never touched. Silent uninstalls remove the same data, upgrades retain it, and a locked file is logged instead of stopping the uninstall. Electron derives user data from the scoped package name, so the removal targets %APPDATA%\@deepseek-ai\dsh-desktop and removes the empty scope directory afterwards. The previous fixture used an unscoped name and never reached that directory; the fixture now uses a scoped package name. The native uninstall smoke runs end to end on the development host after two test fixes: the interactive uninstaller was launched hidden, which made every control invisible to the text search, and the Chinese finish text matched "已经从" instead of MUI's "已从你". The native remover regression is renamed data-cleanup-test.exe because UAC installer detection demanded elevation from the unmanifested uninstall-data-test.exe.
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.
