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.
