DeepSeek Harness is an open-source framework for building and running AI agents, organized so that its functionality is provided through plugins. Developers use it to launch agent workflows through a local web interface or from source, while the catalogue add-ons extend the harness as plugins.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00095 | $0.03794 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.01518 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00759 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00379 |
Grade A, and why
dsh-doc scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 16d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DeepSeek Harness documentation
Summary
The DeepSeek Harness documentation standard: make every page searchable, newcomer-readable, and exact enough for agents and maintainers, and keep the documentation website a tested projection of repository Markdown. Apply repository AGENTS.md files and executed gates first, then this workflow for kind-mapped metadata, progressive detail, line-aligned bilingual pages, corpus audits, and website publication. Preserve one owner per fact: source, tests, generated catalogs, package READMEs, guides, Agent Notes, and scratch each keep their own kind of truth. The session-persistence-jsonl README pair is the reference example of the format.

Workflow
Follow this sequence for each requested scope. Keep the common reader path brief, but do not delete failures, ownership, limitations, or other required contracts merely to reduce words.
- Read root and more-specific
AGENTS.md, the documentation standard, the target page, its source/tests, navigation owner, and bilingual record. - Classify the page by one primary job and reader: product quick start, user task guide, contributor tutorial, architecture overview, package/subsystem reference, generated reference, agent instruction, decision record, or scratch.
- Place the page at its nearest owner. Keep package contracts beside package code; use
docs/for cross-package learning, user, developer, architecture, discussion, and expiring scratch material. - Define the reader's starting state, observable outcome, likely failure, recovery path, and next useful depth before writing details.
- Add or revise YAML metadata — assign the
kindthat maps to the template for this document's job — then writeSummary,Table of Contents, user-facing content, developer-facing content, optionalFurther Exploration, and finalDev Notein that order where the document type permits. - Update the bilingual counterpart in the same pass. Keep headings, lists, tables, code, links, frontmatter layout, and physical line count aligned.
- Verify every claim against code, tests, generators, package metadata, or a current decision owner — and run the operations the page instructs, per the fact-check procedure below. Update the owner before any derivative artifact.
- Run focused checks, then
pnpm run test:docs,pnpm run doc-sync,pnpm run lint, andgit diff --check; re-read the complete diff for correctness and then for brevity and repository fit.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dsh-doc is a skill published in the GitHub repository deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness (250,433 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 3,794 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
