What you need to know
Agent-first, English-canonical field guide to DeepSeek Harness — understanding, running, debugging, and extending the composable agent runtime — with reviewed Simplified Chinese coverage and multilingual foundations, plus a live operator site with an rc.6 field status page and an interactive failure router.
Install
Not a software package — browse the live operator site (sandbaseai.github.io/deepseek-harness-handbook) or clone the repo to read the docs. Contributors run npm run check before submitting (CONTRIBUTING.md).
Usage
- •Route a failure in 30 seconds with the interactive Failure Router, or check the rc.6 Field Status page.
- •Start with the five-minute quickstart, the cheat sheet, or the official examples map.
- •Find the right troubleshooting page by symptom (context window exceeded, ERR_HTTP2_INVALID_SESSION, MCP server not connecting, Windows, PTY shell path, plugin recovery).
- •Use the version-evidence page to capture the exact package/source revision that ran.
Key features
- ✓Agent-first mental model (task boundary, allowed effects, completion condition, model route, tool surface, permission policy, session strategy, failure behavior).
- ✓Source-backed: version-sensitive claims link to official docs or source; pages name verification dates.
- ✓Operational guides with success evidence, failure branches, and safety boundaries; architecture pages prioritize diagrams.
- ✓Multilingual by design — English canonical (28 pages), 简体中文 reviewed (navigation + 3 core guides), ja/ko/es draft.
- ✓Independent project maintained by SandBase — not an official DeepSeek AI project; Apache-2.0.
Best for
Developers and operators building agents on DeepSeek Harness who need a source-backed troubleshooting and architecture reference.
Caveats
- ⚠DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview and may introduce compatibility-breaking changes — pin the revision you deploy.
- ⚠Translation coverage varies; English remains the source of truth until translations point to the current canonical revision.
- ⚠Editorial boundary: no official DeepSeek recommendation, compatibility guarantee, or security endorsement implied for linked resources.
