界面、npm 包与 GitHub 仓库统一命名为 **DSH Mini TUI** / [`dsh-mini-tui`](https://github.com/boxeryao/dsh-mini-tui)：`Mini` 指更少的界面噪声，而不是更少的 Harness 能力。中文也可以昵称为 **“单身汉 Mini TUI”**，取自 DSH 的谐音。   ## DSH 与 Mini TUI 的关系 **DSH Mini TUI 是 DeepSeek Harness 的终端表现层插件，不是独立的 Agent 框架。** 它决定用户在终端里如何输入、查看状态和阅读回答；模型与 Agent 如何运行，仍由 DSH 负责。 ```text dsh --profile tui │ ▼ DeepSeek Harness（运行时与插件系统） │ ├── 模型路由与凭据 ├── standard Agent preset ├── 工具执行与权限审批 ├── Session、日志与持久化 └── dsh-mini-tui（终端表现层） ├── 输入框与流式回答 ├── answer-first 工具输出 ├── 活动状态与失败提示 └── 窗口重绘、标题和终端交互 ``` | DeepSeek Harness 负责 | DSH Mini TUI 负责 | | --- | --- | | 模型选择、路由与调用 | 启动界面、输入框与回答渲染 | | Agent 生命周期与 `standard` preset | answer-first 对话布局与活动状态 | | scoped 工具、审批与取消 | `/verbose`、`/tool N` 等终端命令 | | Session 日志和完整执行记录 | resize 重绘、窗口标题与 Windows 终端体验 | | DSH 插件生态与能力组合 | 将这些能力以克制的 TUI 形式呈现 | 因此，安装或移除 Mini TUI 改变的是 **DSH 的交互界面**，不会把 DSH 替换成另一套 Agent，也不会削减 DSH 的模型、工具或 Session 能力。 ## Mini 的含义：少显示，专注回答 这版界面的设计原则很简单
