DeepSeek Releases DSH: An Open Agent Framework Built Entirely from Plugins

DeepSeek AI has released DeepSeek Harness (dsh), an open-source agent framework where every component — including session storage, sandboxing, context compression, and the model itself — is implemented as a swappable plugin. The system is built on the Cordis runtime and uses a layered patch architecture, allowing users to assemble agent behavior from bundles rather than monolithic code. Different runtime profiles (web, headless, SDK, ACP) let the same tool serve local interfaces, CI pipelines, or code editors without changing flags. DSH supports multiple sub-agent orchestration patterns, including background agents, context-inheriting agents, JavaScript-driven workflows, and looped task runners with persistent working directories. All tool calls, file changes, and state transitions are written to a structured log, giving teams full visibility into agent behavior and making the framework auditable by design.
