Framework overview

What DeepSeek Harness means right now

A harness is the runtime layer around a model. It organizes context, tools, state, execution environments, and interfaces. Cordis makes those capabilities composable and reversible as plugins.

Models

Swap model providers without rebuilding the runtime.

Tools

Expose bounded actions the agent can invoke.

Skills

Load task-specific instructions and workflows.

Sessions

Control conversation state and persistence.

Sandboxes

Isolate code and tool execution.

Agent loop

How an agent harness works

01

Ground in the project

Read instructions, structure, dependencies, diffs, and tests.

02

Plan and execute

Choose tools, edit code, and call services within explicit permission boundaries.

03

Verify with real feedback

Run builds, tests, and browser checks instead of stopping at snippets.

04

Keep traceable state

Record session events so work can be resumed, forked, and reviewed.

Source discipline

Start from primary sources

This independent site organizes public information. Always verify versions, installation, and compatibility against the official repository and package page.

DeepSeek Harness guide

Find, understand, and evaluate DSH plugins

CordisPlugin is an independent resource for the DeepSeek Harness and Cordis ecosystem. Discover community projects by capability, review public repository evidence, installation starting points, and freshness data, then complete your evaluation at the upstream source.

01

Discover plugins

The directory finds public projects through the GitHub dsh-plugin topic and organizes them as tools, skills, models, sessions, sandboxes, and more.

02

Verify the evidence

Each detail page brings together repository descriptions, language, license, activity, and documentation signals while preserving links to the original GitHub project.

03

Install safely

A copied command is only a starting point. Review the README, dependencies, permissions, lifecycle scripts, and pin a trusted version before executing third-party code.

Frequently asked questions

DeepSeek Harness and DSH plugin FAQ

What is DeepSeek Harness?

DeepSeek Harness is an agent harness that organizes context, tools, state, execution environments, and interfaces around a model. This site focuses on its public information and plugin ecosystem.

What is a Cordis plugin?

A Cordis plugin is a composable extension that adds a focused capability such as a tool, skill, model, session behavior, or sandbox. Check upstream version documentation for current APIs and compatibility.

Where does the plugin directory data come from?

The directory uses snapshots of public repositories found through the GitHub dsh-plugin topic. Detail pages show collected repository metadata and link back to maintainer-controlled source.

Are these plugins security reviewed?

No. A listing or detected repository signal is not a security endorsement. Review source, dependencies, permissions, network access, and maintenance status before installation, preferably in an isolated environment.

How do I install a DSH plugin?

Plugin cards and detail pages provide a copyable GitHub installation command as a starting point. Commands may change with upstream releases, so read the plugin README and current DSH documentation first.

Which languages does the directory support?

The site interface is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. Plugin names and descriptions generally preserve maintainer-provided GitHub text to avoid changing technical meaning.
