Integrate the observed master checkpoint 7ab215e23e5d977aae7eb5d4fb91782d39969dbb without rewriting the earlier published checkpoints. Master adds current-directory events, directory-aware consumers, and retained Git worktrees; its old subagent startup paths overlapped the unified activation implementation. Resolve directory selection within managed startup after acquiring parent ownership. Preserve the original Session origin while setting each new local child directory, retain persisted directory state on cold resume, and pass a required absolute cwd to external providers. Keep unified local/external ownership, full completion notices, parked-input host completion, SDK wait/error/shutdown behavior, and ACP cancellation semantics. Retain removal of the old in-process driver and continuation managers. Combine SDK wait with the new directory requests, preserve the new master directory/worktree fixtures, regenerate derived catalogs from the combined sources, and refresh only the four stale prompt/schema sidecars. Preserve every protected historical schema, archived note, catalog-v2 acknowledgement, and recorded predecessor input. Validation: full build; 59 CI static gates; 855 subagent tests with 100% coverage on changed core/external sources; affected consumer suites including 119 repaired-fixture tests; SDK 11 and headless 16 recorded scenarios; two local headless expected cases; six built nested SDK/ACP cases; lint, strict cast inventory, workspace constraints, and whitespace checks. Native Windows worker diagnostics remain additive and require the next CI run to classify the original crash.
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.
