ctx.tools.register(definition, { when }) adds a synchronous or asynchronous
condition. AgentLoop resolves conditions once per proposed step with the
agent, the model selection that step preparation captured, and the turn
signal, before prompt assembly and agent/pre-step. The resulting
ResolvedToolSet governs tool declarations, Native dispatch, PTC bindings,
and nested calls for that step and its retries, and the turn disposes it
when the proposal is rejected or fails, when no step opens, and after the
step. A false condition removes the tool everywhere; a thrown condition
ends the turn with TOOL_ACTIVATION_FAILED. Calls whose registration was
replaced or removed during the step return UNKNOWN_TOOL.
system-prompt/assemble now transforms PromptPresentation without a tool
array, so tool declarations stay provider-owned. exit_plan_mode is declared
only for steps whose selected plan state is active, the same state that
renders plan guidance; it still rejects a call before the selection is
logged.
Model selection stays as master defines it; this change adds no model
selection event or Agent field.
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.
