DeepSeek Harness documentation help center: from first launch to plugin development
Welcome to the DeepSeek Harness Help Center, the documentation entry point for every audience: from newcomers who guide AI agents in natural language to plugin developers extending the harness itself.
DeepSeek Harness is currently in the developer preview stage and iterating rapidly. Breaking changes are expected.

Community projects to explore
DSH Desktop
A native Windows/macOS community distribution with a bundled runtime and the unmodified official Harness Web UI.
cordis.run
A community plugin marketplace and directory for discovering dsh.bundle packages, setup guides, and profile install commands.
Ecosystem & release updates
Learn the two projects' identity boundaries plus current official releases, compatibility changes, and security upgrade guidance.
Keep official and community projects distinct
DSH Desktop and cordis.run are independent community projects for the DeepSeek Harness ecosystem, not official DeepSeek products. Check version compatibility, release source, and permission boundaries before installing third-party software or plugins.
About this site
This help center reorganizes and localizes the documentation of deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness, and adds original guides for new and experienced users. If something disagrees with the latest upstream version, the upstream repository takes precedence — and feedback is welcome in the community.
