Awesome DeepSeek Harness

A curated guide to DeepSeek Harness (dsh) — DeepSeek's open-source, everything-is-a-plugin coding agent — and the best community plugins built on it.

DeepSeek Harness is a runnable coding agent (Web UI + headless) built on Cordis, where every part of the system — models, tools, sandboxes, session storage, UI, even the agent loop itself — is a swappable plugin. That architecture has produced a large, fast-moving plugin ecosystem: well over a thousand community plugins at last count. This list exists to make that ecosystem easy to scan: what a plugin does, in one line, sorted into the category you'd actually go looking under.

See also: awesome-openclaw and awesome-hermes-agent — curated resources for OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, the two other self-hosted / everything-is-a-plugin agent harnesses with the closest ecosystems to dsh.

deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness is DeepSeek's open-source agent harness, currently in developer preview. Its defining idea is everything is a plugin: the model provider, the sandbox, the tool set, the session store, and the UI are all plugins loaded into a Cordis-based runtime, so you can replace or extend any layer without forking the harness itself. Plugins declare a dsh.bundle manifest and install with:

dsh plugin --profile web add <plugin-name>

# run the Web UI (served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default)
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web

# or from a source checkout
git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness.git
cd deepseek-harness && pnpm install && pnpm run build && pnpm dsh web

Tag your own plugin repo with the dsh-plugin GitHub topic so it's discoverable, and consider a plugin browser like dsh-market for one-click install/upgrade from inside the Web UI.
