FAQ

What is DeepSeek Harness?

An AI harness for coding and automation. One dsh command starts the Web UI, TUI or tasks; capabilities are extended by plugins.

How is it different from IDE assistants?

IDE assistants orbit the current window. A harness is a standalone process with its own config, sessions, plugins and permission model.

Where do I start?
