A `command` carrying two shell commands on two lines rendered as one row: `.command` had `white-space: nowrap`, so the two collapsed into a single ellipsized line that read as one command with stray arguments. Render one prompt row per command line, and move the run-state dot out of flow into a gutter reserved to the left of the card surface, so it neither indents its command nor depends on the command's text metrics to line up. The dot stays exactly one per card, on the first row. The exit status the view carries is the whole call's and bash reports no per-command status, so a dot per line would assert, of a line that succeeded inside a failing call, that the line itself failed. The single visually hidden label keeps the same scope, since one label per row would read to assistive technology as several distinct outcomes. Fixture turn 60's command becomes two lines, so the built-bundle snapshot pins the layout and its dot distribution (`dotsPerPromptRow: [1, 0]`), and the e2e adds that the dot starts left of the card surface — geometry jsdom cannot compute. Both READMEs now also record that this package's user-facing copy is inline Chinese, since zero-cordis atoms have no route to `ctx.locale`; extracting it belongs to the repo-wide localization work.
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.
