Live-session feedback (a real Zed elicitation round-trip): the model presented its finished plan as a plain reply and asked the USER to switch modes — the exact reversal the roadmap warns about — because the shipped section's 'present it with the exit_plan_mode tool' read as a suggestion. The section now says a finished plan is delivered by calling exit_plan_mode, preferred over pasting it as a plain reply or asking the user to switch modes — firmer, without imperatives. ask_user_question enters the shipped plan allowlist (asking is read-only-safe), and the section points a blocked decision at it. The plan-acp-agent example composes the bash family (default mode only — plan's allowlist keeps excluding it, so the two modes now demo a real difference) plus tool-ask-user; both recorded scenarios re-recorded: the pin now shows plan = [ask_user_question, exit_plan_mode, read, todo_write] and post-exit default = the full eight-tool surface.
Examples
Runnable demos (not workspaces) that showcase how the harness is wired. Each example is now a thin leaf: a cordis.yml that picks the swappable backends (an LLM adapter, a bash executor), loads ONE app package, and may add optional product tools or demo-only mocks. The composition — the spine, the front-door cluster, and the boot glue — lives in the app packages (@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent, @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent) and the @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-core bundle they share. There is no start.ts; the demo:* scripts invoke each app package's bin.
echo-agent
A mock model + echo tool on the stdio chat app — the all-mock skeleton. The leaf swaps dsh-stdio-agent's LLM backend to a local mock-echo adapter and adds a local echo tool. Demonstrates:
- A thin leaf
cordis.ymlloading the@deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agentapp - Registering a mock
LlmAdapter(streaming scripted responses) - Registering a tool via
ctx.tools.register() - "Swap the backend, keep the app" — the only difference from
coding-agentis the adapter
Run with: pnpm run demo:echo. When prompted, type "echo " to trigger a tool call round-trip.
coding-agent
A REPL agent demo: DeepSeek V4 + the read/write/edit filesystem tools + the bash tool suite, subagent delegation, and the todo_write task tracker on the same @deepseek-ai/dsh-stdio-agent app. The UI is a terminal readline REPL.
Run with: pnpm run demo:repl (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the environment or a gitignored repo-root .env). See coding-agent/README.md for details.
Its code-mode.cordis.yml overlay flips the same tree to Code Mode: the worker-thread code runtime is loaded and the tool registry runs mode: code, so the model gets exactly one wire tool — run_code — plus a generated TypeScript SDK section, and composes the other tools by writing a program whose output it curates. Run with: pnpm run demo:code-mode (the REPL is the default UI; acp as the argument serves the acp-agent example's same-shaped overlay instead) — see the Code Mode section for what to try.
cordis-agent
The self-referential demo: the coding spine plus @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-cordis, whose three tools (cordis_inspect / cordis_mount / cordis_unmount) let the agent inspect the live cordis runtime it runs inside, mount model-written plugins into it (an event listener, a brand-new tool for itself, or a service another mount injects), and dispose them again — all dynamic mounts grouped under one cordis-dynamic fiber subtree. The ctx.fs/ctx.web services ride along provider-only, as the capabilities those plugins build on.
Run with: pnpm run demo:cordis (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See cordis-agent/README.md for the staged demo script and the toolset RFC for the design and sandbox caveats.
acp-agent
An agent demo exposed as an Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server over JSON-RPC stdio, via the @deepseek-ai/dsh-acp-agent app — drive it from Zed or any other ACP client. Also the home of the keyless snapshot tests.
Run with: pnpm run demo:acp (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY); pnpm run demo:code-mode acp boots the same server in Code Mode via the code-mode.cordis.yml overlay. See acp-agent/README.md for the Zed setup and the snapshot-test design.
plan-acp-agent
The ACP server with session modes composed (@deepseek-ai/dsh-mode) — the editor's mode picker switches the session into plan mode, the model works under the read-only allowlist, and it leaves through the user-reviewed exit_plan_mode tool (the review arrives as an elicitation form).
Run with: pnpm run demo:plan-acp (needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). See plan-acp-agent/README.md.
