DeepSeek Harness previews a desktop agent built around plugins
DeepSeek Harness offers a desktop or local web interface for coding, document work and background tasks. Its Cordis-based architecture treats capabilities as composable plugins, including tools, skills and interface elements. A creator mode can build plugins through conversation, while execution traces expose tool activity. The project is in public preview with rapidly changing interfaces.

Why it matters
Developers can inspect and extend an open-source agent application rather than only customize prompts.
More context
Try a disposable workspace using the Apple-silicon macOS or 64-bit Windows app, or launch the web interface with Node.js. Review provider setup and inference costs before use. The page has no verified publication date.
Keep in mind
The MIT-licensed harness does not establish free inference. Scheduled tasks and approval review are labelled experimental; compatibility-breaking changes are expected. 1min has not installed it or verified its demonstrations.
