Asked what a workspace contained, an agent described one subfolder as the
whole project. `glob {"pattern": "*"}` matched 10030 paths across 22
top-level entries and the inline page was the first 100 of them, all under a
single unpacked archive.
Three properties compose into that page: a pattern with no `/` matches
basenames at any depth, so `*` means the whole tree rather than its top
level; `--sort=modified` orders oldest first, and unpacking an archive
restores timestamps that predate everything the user wrote; and the page was
the head of that order. Each is defensible alone, and together they make the
most ordinary request an agent receives produce a confident wrong answer.
A result within `globMaxResults` is unchanged — shown whole, in
modification-time order. Beyond it the page is filled round-robin across the
complete result's top-level entries, so one subtree cannot own every slot,
and the footer states that the page was sampled rather than taken in
modification-time order. Measured on a 24-entry, 716-file reproduction, the
head of 100 reaches 7 top-level names and the sampled page reaches 21. The
spill artifact still holds the complete sorted list.
The guidance and schema stop steering away from `ls`, state the any-depth
pattern rule, say results are files and never directories, and point at
`list` for a directory's contents.
DeepSeek Harness
English | 中文
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source coding agent built on the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
It uses an architecture where everything is a plugin.
Install
Install dsh with one command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/master/scripts/install.sh | sh
The installer requires git and Node ^22.19 || >=24, offers to install pnpm when it is missing, and prompts for a DeepSeek API key.
The installer clones DeepSeek Harness to ~/.dsh/source, links dsh into ~/.local/bin, and launches it. Re-running the command updates the checkout. See scripts/install.sh for alternate install locations and other options.
Use DeepSeek Harness
Web UI
For the recommended local interface, build the frontend after installation and after each update, then start the Web UI:
pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build && pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build:web
dsh web
The Web UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default.
TUI
Start the full-screen terminal interface:
dsh
Headless
Run one task, print the final answer, and exit:
dsh -p "summarize this workspace"
Why DeepSeek Harness
Built-in capabilities cover file reading, editing, and search; shell execution; reusable skills; task tracking; subagents and workflows; persistent sessions; and context compaction. The TUI also includes Plan Mode.
- Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, policies, storage, context management, and interfaces are composable Cordis plugins, so deployments can extend or replace behavior without forking the agent loop. See the architecture for the underlying design.
- Code Mode (opt-in). It exposes a
run_codetool and a generated TypeScript SDK; only program output re-enters model context. See Code Mode. - Self-referential Cordis tools are opt-in. They let the agent inspect its live runtime and mount or unmount plugins while it runs. See the Cordis tools.
