DeepSeek Harness (DSH)

Does it fit your conditions?

You want to configure the provider, tool set, permissions, and context handling of a coding agent.

Setup

Configure tools

Interface

Terminal, Browser

Access

Provider API key

Workspace

Independent workspace

Install DSH, launch the intended profile, and configure a supported model provider in Settings → Models.

Reviewed scope: DeepSeek Harness terminal and web profiles; configuration depends on the active plugin composition.

Coding and office fit

Provider patches, credentials, and Agent preset plugin settings have distinct owners. Check the installed revision before copying configuration.

Costs and context

Selected provider usage

Model requests, retries, and context compaction can consume provider usage. No measured per-task cost is established here.

Reduce unnecessary work: Confirm the session's model route and permission preset before trying a small task.

Measured tokens / task

Unknown — not measured

Measured cost / task

Compare the same deliverable and acceptance criteria, including retries and your review time. Local execution does not establish local model processing.

Try one real task

1. Install DSH, launch the intended profile, and configure a supported model provider in Settings → Models.
2. Start with a small task: Investigate a repository, edit files, and run checks with the chosen model and tools.
3. Check the result against your original files and acceptance criteria before expanding the workflow.

Before relying on this workflow, check the current plan, device, region, language, file format, and required permissions.

Bring your work with you

Carry project instructions and a task summary. Reconnect credentials and inspect the target profile's plugins separately.

A reviewed brief can carry context. Native history, internal memory, account permissions, and running tasks are not assumed to transfer.
