Cordis 内核
The Cordis kernel manages plugins: installing, uninstalling, and dependencies. Agent capabilities live in these plugins.
Developer preview · 0.1.2-rc.1
Models、tools、skills、sessions、sandboxes、storage、loops、scheduling 和 UI 各自都是可替换、可重组的 plugin。
Web UI 通过以下命令绑定 127.0.0.1:3080 npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web。MIT 许可。Node.js ^22.19.0 或 >=24。0.1.2-rc.1 的 CLI 解压后 43 KB。
Agent + model = Harness
HARNESS
The model is the soul of an agent.
Harness 让 agent 读取环境、调用 tools,并在聊天框之外持续工作。
The Cordis kernel manages plugins: installing, uninstalling, and dependencies. Agent capabilities live in these plugins.
Plugins provide every agent capability, including models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, storage, loops, scheduling, and the UI. Cordis services and events let the plugins work together.
Developers can select, swap, or extend any capability in configuration without changing the DeepSeek Harness source code.
产品架构
DeepSeek Harness 建立在 Cordis 上。Plugins 提供 models、tools、skills、sessions、sandboxes、storage、loops、scheduling 和 UI。开发者在配置里选择或扩展能力,而不是 fork 源码树。官方 Settings 画面列出 159 条已安装行。
会话日志
Everything the model sees is recorded in an append-only session log: system prompts, reasoning, tool calls and results, subagent scheduling, and every context injection. In the Trajectory view, you can inspect these records by source. Resume, fork, search, and replay all operate on the same event stream.
运行预设
Standard mode includes the full toolset. Code / PTC mode uses model-generated code to orchestrate multiple rounds of tool calls. Minimal mode keeps only a shell tool and a file editor for benchmarking models in a thin environment. Creator mode lets you inspect the current runtime, test Cordis plugins in memory, and combine them into new modes.
Get started
Install Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0, then launch the local Web UI with npx.
$ npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web

Field notes
From discussions after real installs. Not marketing quotes.
Swapped the model plugin without touching the DeepSeek Harness tree. Cordis composition is the reason I stayed.
Discussion note · runtime author
Trajectory showed the exact bash payload that listed my workspace. Resume from that event worked. The UI still hiccups on very long streamed turns.
Discussion note · eval engineer
On Windows 11, C:\Windows\Temp plus windows-acl made every sandboxed pwsh call die with SandboxUnavailableError. Moving TEMP off the system temp dir fixed it.
Discussion note · Windows 11 Pro 25H2
npx brought the Web UI up in one command. Port 3080 was already reserved by Hyper-V, so I had to pick another port. That is in the port 3080 guide.
Discussion note · desktop lab
Creator mode is the only place I could inspect plugins in memory before writing a Profile. Token use on a multi-hour coding loop was higher than I budgeted.
Discussion note · preset builder
I pinned 0.1.1-rc.2 after an unpinned npx pull changed behavior overnight. The README warning is not decorative.

Yes. DeepSeek Harness is published under the MIT License as a developer preview. You can inspect, modify, and self-host it. Early 0.0.1-rc packages used BSD-3-Clause; current 0.1.x packages are MIT.
Yes, if Node.js is ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0. The Windows sandbox uses an ACL restricted-token backend. Known issues include C:\Windows\Temp ACL lockouts, workspaces owned by BUILTIN\Administrators, and port 3080 reserved by Hyper-V, WSL2, or Docker.
No. DeepSeek Harness is the agent runtime around models. It supplies plugins for tools, sessions, sandboxes, storage, loops, scheduling, and the Web UI. Model IDs and API prices are separate releases.
dsh is an npm CLI, not a Windows installer. Heuristic scanners sometimes flag Node processes that spawn shells. Check the published shasum for the version you pinned, such as fef213043313affc36ca2226d2637ad483b5e3f6 for 0.1.2-rc.1.
