dsh-code DSH plugin

DSH-Code is a terminal-based coding interface built on top of DeepSeek Harness. It reuses the same Agent, Session, Tool, Command, Skill, Permission, Sandbox, and plugin services as the Harness Web UI, but adds a TUI optimized for coding workflows. It supports agent presets, slash commands, session recovery, and persistent history.

What the dsh-code DSH plugin can do

Session-level Agent Presets: standard, code, minimal, cordis, and user-defined presets combining tools, prompts, skills, and plan mode.
Slash commands: /new, /resume, /mode, /model, /plugin, /permission, /help, with live discovery from the shared Harness registry.
Persistent session recording and recovery via /resume, --continue, and explicit session IDs.
Terminal rendering with bounded streaming, thinking folding, scrollback, Ctrl+O history viewer, and CJK-safe width handling.
Approval and interaction: one-shot tool approval bar, structured ask_user_question, plan review menus, and turn steering.
Model switching from the live LLM registry, with animated DeepSeek model transitions (Wave, Aurora, Pulse).
Global input history, subagent conversation inspection, and @-referencing of workspace files or session snapshots.
Markdown export, context occupancy, token usage, TTFT, and latency metrics.

Where the dsh-code DSH plugin fits

Developing and debugging code directly in the terminal with AI assistance from DeepSeek models.
Managing multiple coding sessions with different agent configurations (e.g., minimal vs. full code mode).
Reviewing and resuming previous coding sessions without losing context or state.
Exploring and testing DSH plugins, skills, and commands through the /plugin diagnostic interface.
Building custom agent presets for specific coding workflows (e.g., plan-mode, subagent delegation).

Who the dsh-code DSH plugin is for

Developers who prefer terminal-based AI coding tools over web UIs.
Users of DeepSeek Harness who want a dedicated coding interface with TUI interactions.
Power users needing session persistence, agent presets, and fine-grained control over AI-assisted coding.

dsh-code DSH plugin limitations

Requires Node ^22.19 || >=24 and a preview version of the dsh CLI.
Requires a DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable.
DeepSeek Harness is still in developer preview, so breaking changes may occur.
Package published within 24 hours may be ignored by pnpm (use exact version pinning).
Only supports terminal-based interaction; no graphical UI.

**DSH-Code 是 [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness)（`dsh`）的终端编码界面。** 它以树外 bundle 的形式组合在官方 `@deepseek-ai/dsh-base` 之上，与 Harness Web UI 使用同一套 Agent、Session、工具、命令、技能、权限、sandbox、上下文压缩与插件服务。 DSH-Code 没有另外实现一套 Agent loop，而是在 DSH 运行时上增加面向编码工作的 TUI。会话处理参考 [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex)，终端交互参考 [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview)。 --- ## 一、项目概览 DeepSeek Harness 将模型、工具、存储、策略和界面作为插件，通过 Cordis 注册。持久化会话事件记录恢复对话与运行状态所需的信息。 DSH-Code 保留这套结构，并补充适合编码任务的终端工作流。 | 参考项目 | DSH-Code 使用的机制 | | --- | --- | | **DeepSeek Harness** | 插件组合、作用域服务、Agent Preset、持久会话、工具、技能、策略、sandbox 与委派 | | **Codex CLI** | 会话导航、有界浮层、历史检查、稳定底部布局与缩放处理 | | **Claude Code** | 斜杠命令发现、思考折叠、审批、提问与 turn steering | 界面采用开发者熟悉的终端操作方式，运行行为仍由 DSH 服务和配置决定。 ## 二、快速开始需要 Node `^22.19 || >=24`、预览版 `dsh` CLI，以及 `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`。 ```sh npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh dsh-code npm install -g pnpm dsh plugin --profile cli add dsh-code@0.7.0 ``` > 提示：pnpm 会忽略发布不足 24 小时的包，因此发布首日请使用精确版本 `dsh-code@0.7.0`；24 小时后可省略版本号。npm 安装不受此限制。可用的启动指令： ```sh deepseek dsh --profile cli dsh-code ``` `dsh --profile cli`、`deepseek` 与 `dsh-code` 是并列的启动命令。`deepseek` 与 `dsh-code` 都是 `dsh --profile cli

dsh-code DSH plugin questions

How do I install DSH-Code?

First, ensure you have Node >=22.19 or >=24, the preview dsh CLI, and a DEEPSEEK_API_KEY. Then run: npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh dsh-code. After that, add the plugin to your profile: dsh plugin --profile cli add dsh-code@0.7.0. You can then start with dsh --profile cli or dsh-code.

Can I resume a previous coding session?

Yes. Use the /resume command in the TUI to search and select a previous session by ID or prefix. You can also start directly with dsh --profile cli --continue to resume the latest session in the current directory, or use --resume <id> to target a specific session.

What agent presets are available?

Out of the box, DSH-Code offers four presets: standard (full generic coding agent), code (multi-action workflow for Code Mode/PTC), minimal (only persistent shell and str_replace_editor), and cordis (full agent with runtime checks). You can also define your own presets combining tools, prompts, skills, compression, plan mode, and subagent behavior.

How do I switch between different AI models?

Use the /model command inside the TUI. It will show a list of models available from the live LLM registry. Select a model to switch mid-session. When switching to a DeepSeek model, the input box will play an animated transition (Wave, Aurora, or Pulse) to indicate the change.

What should I do if pnpm ignores the package after publishing?

pnpm ignores packages published less than 24 hours ago. To work around this, install with an exact version number, e.g., dsh-code@0.7.0 instead of just dsh-code. After 24 hours, the version can be omitted. npm does not have this restriction.
