DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness

Run DeepSeek Harness threads in bb, with its modes and its slash commands.

What you get

• DeepSeek Harness as a provider. dsh's ACP app is wired in as acp-deepseek, so a dsh thread behaves like any other bb thread: streaming, tool calls, reasoning effort, context usage, cancel.
• Standard, Creator, and Minimal modes. A row above the composer picks which dsh composition boots. Creator adds Cordis runtime inspection, the present tool, and the plugin manager; Minimal keeps only file access, a shell, and compaction.
• Harness commands. dsh's own slash-command registry (/compact, /goal, /feedback) is exposed to the agent through a bundled dsh plugin, and a bare command line typed into bb runs directly without a model turn.

How it works

The plugin provisions three dsh profiles and a launcher that boots the one matching the mode you picked. It installs a small dsh plugin for the command bridge and applies a patch to dsh's ACP app so the command surface is reachable. One command sets all of it up, and re-running it repairs an installation after a dsh upgrade.

Requirements

DeepSeek Harness installed globally (npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh) and model credentials for whichever route you use. Threads need a normal writable project directory; a drive root is rejected by dsh's filesystem layer.

For agents

bb deepseek-harness status reports what is installed, install repairs it, and mode shows or changes the composition new threads use.
