| The DeepSeek Harness package workspace: how the npm packages under packages/ are grouped, what each group owns, and the conventions that bind them. | package-group |
Packages
English | 中文
Summary
The harness is assembled from npm packages under packages/, grouped by capability family: sessions and the agent loop, model-facing tools, shell and filesystem execution, web access, subagents, and the rest. Use this page as the top-level map: find the owning group, then open its README for the package list. Every package is scoped @deepseek-ai/dsh-* and lives in exactly one group; each group README is the authoritative package map for its family.
Table of Contents
Package groups
Every package lives in exactly one group; new packages join existing groups, and a new group updates its own README and this table.

runtime-diagnostics/ |
Runtime diagnostics: package-owned invariant checks and reports |
util/ |
Low-level zero-dependency utilities shared across groups (Branded<B>, home/path helpers, timeout, retention) |
Release expectations
Most groups are product — stable API. The exceptions: experimental/ publishes without stability or support promises, and test-support/, runtime-diagnostics/, and util/ are support with lower compatibility expectations.
Dependencies
The dependency graph is generated: docs/module-graph.md (pnpm run gen-module-graph, freshness-gated in CI).
Extension plugins depend on Service Definitions, never concrete providers. dsh-agent-loop is swappable; UI, hook, and tool plugins use dsh-agent. Composition bundles may depend on spine plugins. Capabilities separate Service Definition / Service Provider / Consumer roles when they evolve independently; see capability seams.
Package README contracts
Every package README covers purpose, configuration, extension points, and Model Experience unless the model-agnostic omission allowlist exempts it. It also carries ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work or uses its allowlist. Package conventions — exports, service access, invariants, tests — live in packages/AGENTS.md.
