One two-turn seed (turn 1: bash + two parallel reads in a single assistant
message; turn 2: a markdown-heavy reply) rendered cold through the
seeded-history pattern — zero model calls — serving four surfaces:
- sidebar search: client-side title filter; asserted only after the durable
title lands with the attach baseline (a cold SessionSummary carries no
title — search matches the displayTitle the user sees). Negative query
empties the tree, positive narrows to the match + its force-expanded
group, clear restores.
- Trajectory tab: turn sections, the step group's tool mix ('bash read×2'),
and a view-area aria golden.
- Waterfall tab: span stats header + one lane per span. The P-I fold counts
a turn-0 prologue span (only assistant/steering nodes carry a turn
number) — pinned as-is; real spans are P-III per the view's ledger.
- details column: the bash toolview row routes click to openDetails;
open/closed is asserted on the frame's data-details-collapsed attribute
because close collapses the grid column to width 0 without unmounting
the subtree (hidden, not absent, is the contract).

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 clones DeepSeek Harness to ~/.dsh/source, links dsh into ~/.local/bin, and launches it. Re-running the command updates the checkout. 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:
pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build && pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source 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.
