About DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source agent tool developed by DeepSeek AI, built on an “Everything is a Plugin” architecture and powered by Cordis. The project starts via npm, serves a Web UI by default at 127.0.0.1:3080 and opens the browser, making it well suited for developers to run local agent experiments and extend tooling. The project is currently in developer preview, iterating quickly, and may ship breaking compatibility changes.
