create-dsh-sdk-project	Create a DeepSeek Harness SDK project non-interactively (headless), driven by an agent instead of the interactive wizard. Use when asked to scaffold a new DSH SDK project without a terminal.

Create a DeepSeek Harness SDK project headlessly

The create-sdk initializer normally runs an interactive wizard. To create a project without a terminal, pass a structured spec and ask for machine-readable events:

npm create @deepseek-ai/sdk -- --config-json '<spec-json>' --json

• --config-json '<json>' supplies the whole spec inline (no prompts). Alternatively --config <path.json> reads the same spec from a file.
• --json makes the command emit one NDJSON lifecycle event per line to stdout.

Spec shape

All fields are optional except those a chosen feature requires. Unsupplied answers that have a sensible default are taken from it; a required answer with no default (a secret, a custom provider base URL, a required feature option) makes the run fail loud rather than block.

{
  "directory": "my-agent",
  "description": "A DeepSeek Harness agent",
  "provider": "deepseek-official",
  "apiKey": "<key>",
  "model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
  "interface": "tui",
  "pm": "npm",
  "install": false,
  "features": [
    { "id": "persistence", "options": ["sqlite"] },
    { "id": "web", "options": ["exa"], "secrets": { "apiKey": "<exa-key>" } }
  ]
}

features is the complete set of optional features to enable, each with its chosen options and any secrets/values it needs. The interactive feature tree and its recommended-feature prompts are skipped in headless mode.

Reacting to events

Each line of stdout is one JSON object:

• {"type":"done"} — the project was created (and installed, if install was true).
• {"type":"action-required","prompt":"<message>"} — a required answer was missing. Add the corresponding field to the spec (e.g. an apiKey, a feature secret, a custom baseURL) and re-run.
• {"type":"error","message":"<message>"} — the run failed for another reason.

Iterate: read action-required, fill the named input into the spec, re-run until done.
