DeepSeek Harness: everything is a plugin
DeepSeek's agent harness where every capability is a plugin — 273k stars and the top AI-agent repo by star velocity this month.
Why it matters
The plugin-everything architecture behind the dsh ecosystem, including the free-model plugin that put frontier models one install away with no login.
What you could build with it
A startup could build its internal agent tooling as dsh plugins, so each new capability ships as a small installable piece instead of a fork of the whole harness.
Does it hold up?
Proven at scale — 273k stars and a growing plugin ecosystem — though the harness is DeepSeek-centric, and the free-model plugin's no-login frontier access raises questions about how long that access lasts.
