Standard
Daily driverThe full coding agent: file editing, shell access, retrieval, the whole tool table.
Everything in DSH is a plugin.
DeepSeek Harness is the open agent runtime where models, tools, storage and the loop are all swappable plugins.

The model is half the agent
Agent = Model + Harness
The model supplies judgement. The harness supplies everything the judgement acts on: what the agent can see, which tools it may call, where its session is written, and when the loop stops. DSH makes that second half editable.
Model Reasoning, planning, code generation
Harness Context, tools, sessions, sandbox, loop

Cordis kernel Service registry, dependency injection, reversible effects
Each block in the harness row is a plugin you can replace without touching the layer above or below it.
Four presets, one runtime
The same kernel boots into different shapes depending on how much surface area you want the agent to have.
PTC
Code as tool callsTools composed in TypeScript instead of selected one at a time, so a turn can express a whole program.
Minimal

From nothing to a running agent
-
Install
Node 18 or newer is the only prerequisite. No global install, no account.
-
Add a plugin
Plugins are npm packages. The kernel resolves what each one depends on and boots them in the right order.
-
Inspect
Every service, every tool call and every session write is visible while the agent runs.
Read the source, then change it
DSH is MIT licensed and in developer preview. Breaking changes land often, and the plugin API is where most of them show up.
