Three review findings, each verified against the presentation contract: The call view's `description` was dropped, so a presenter that authors one (`terminal_send` declares `Terminal <id>`) lost the contract's above-card text and the row fell back to an unrelated args-derived summary. It now rides the same derivation and outranks that summary. A relative workdir was concatenated but never normalized, while the bash executor resolves it before running: with session cwd `/w/app` and workdir `..` the command runs in `/w`, yet the card displayed the label `..`. The resolved path now collapses `.`/`..` segments, drops a `..` that would climb past a root the way a filesystem does, and keeps a Windows path's separators since the value is only ever displayed. `run_code` sub-dispatches carry no presenter views on the shipped wire — `session.ts` folds `tool/code-dispatch(-start)` with null views and the host's `viewFor` presents only top-level call/result events — so a nested bash call cannot reach a terminal card. The existing test only passed by injecting views that path cannot produce; it now says so, and a second arm pins the no-view shape the wire actually delivers. Restoring master's fixture also fixed the todo snapshot lane, which my earlier merge had broken by dropping the projection support the todo dock reads. The terminal sample turn moved ahead of the todo turn, because the standing plan retires at the next `turn/start` and a turn appended after it emptied the dock. The card props are now nested under `card` so a render site spreads exactly the primitive's own surface, and the fixture reads each sample's authored exit status instead of re-implementing the bash tool's `parseExitStatus`.
DeepSeek Harness
English | 中文
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source coding agent built on the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
It uses an architecture where everything is a plugin.
Install
Install dsh with one command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/master/scripts/install.sh | sh
The installer requires git and Node ^22.19 || >=24, offers to install pnpm when it is missing, and prompts for a DeepSeek API key.
The installer keeps every checkout under ~/.dsh/source: the master clone at ~/.dsh/source/master and each install's staging checkout as a git worktree ~/.dsh/source/staging-<timestamp>. The stable symlink ~/.dsh/source/current points at the active staging worktree, and dsh in ~/.local/bin links to current/bin/dsh, so an upgrade repoints one symlink and the dsh on PATH never moves. Re-running the command adds a fresh staging worktree from an updated master and repoints current at it. See scripts/install.sh for alternate install locations and other options.
Use DeepSeek Harness
Web UI
For the recommended local interface, build the frontend after installation and after each update, then start the Web UI. Resolve the running checkout from the dsh launcher so the command holds regardless of which staging worktree is current (the launcher resolves through the stable current symlink):
dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$(command -v dsh)")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$(command -v dsh)")
while [ -L "$dsh_bin" ]; do
link=$(readlink "$dsh_bin")
case $link in /*) dsh_bin=$link ;; *) dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")" && cd "$(dirname "$link")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$link") ;; esac
done
dsh_dir=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")/.." && pwd -P)
pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" run build && pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" run build:web
dsh web
The Web UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default.
TUI
Start the full-screen terminal interface:
dsh
Headless
Run one task, print the final answer, and exit:
dsh -p "summarize this workspace"
Why DeepSeek Harness
Built-in capabilities cover file reading, editing, and search; shell execution; reusable skills; task tracking; subagents and workflows; persistent sessions; and context compaction. The TUI also includes Plan Mode.
- Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, policies, storage, context management, and interfaces are composable Cordis plugins, so deployments can extend or replace behavior without forking the agent loop. See the architecture for the underlying design.
- Code Mode (opt-in). It exposes a
run_codetool and a generated TypeScript SDK; only program output re-enters model context. See Code Mode. - Self-referential Cordis tools are opt-in. They let the agent inspect its live runtime and mount or unmount plugins while it runs. See the Cordis tools.
