DeepSeek Harness: Everything is a Plugin.

What it solves

DeepSeek Harness provides a standardized, extensible framework for building and running AI agents. It addresses the complexity of agent development by treating every component as a plugin, allowing developers to easily compose and extend agent capabilities.

How it works

The project is built on an "everything-is-a-plugin" architecture powered by Cordis, which implements a programming paradigm for spatiotemporal composability. It provides a Web UI for interacting with agents and supports both local and SSH launches.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers who want to create, manage, and deploy AI agents using a modular, plugin-based approach.

Highlights

  • Plugin-centric design: Every part of the agent harness is treated as a plugin for maximum flexibility.
  • Web UI: Includes a built-in interface for launching and interacting with agents.
  • Developer Preview: Currently in rapid iteration with a focus on community-driven plugin development.
