code-mate-deepseek-harness
Helps your agent analyze and implement code in repositories. It's useful for bounded development tasks and code analysis.
What it does
This tool helps analyze or implement tasks within a code project. It runs a program called DeepSeek Harness in the background to perform these tasks.
When to use it
- ✓When you want the AI to analyze a problem in your code.
- ✓When you want the AI to create or modify parts of your code.
- ✓When you need help understanding an error in your project.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Analyze this error in my project and suggest a fix.”

How it works
The tool runs a specific program in the background, giving it clear instructions. It checks if the program is installed, and if so, sends your request to it. The result is then shown to you.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:
npx skills add CherryHQ/cherry-studio --skill code-mate-deepseek-harnessOr download just the file:

DeepSeek Harness
Run
- Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
- Check availability with
command -v dsh. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install DeepSeek Harness in Code Mate. - Run one headless task:
dsh --profile headless "<prompt>"
Pass the prompt as one quoted argument. Treat stdout as final text, not JSON. Exit zero means success; exit one means the task failed or did not complete. Never start the interactive UI or a login flow.
Authentication And Permissions
If DSH reports a missing provider, model, or API configuration, stop and ask the user to configure DeepSeek Harness in Code Mate. Never request, read, print, or copy credentials.
Headless DSH can write to the workspace and creates a persistent session. For read-only work, explicitly tell it not to modify files and inspect the repository diff afterward. Allow modifications only when the user explicitly requested workspace changes, and restrict the working directory to the intended project.
Example: ask DSH to diagnose a test failure without editing, run it in the repository, confirm exit zero and a clean diff, then summarize its final text.
FAQ
What is DeepSeek Harness?
It's a program that helps analyze and implement tasks in code projects.
Do I need to install anything?
Yes, you need to have DeepSeek Harness installed in your coding environment.
Can the tool change my files?
It can change files if you explicitly ask it to make changes to your code. Otherwise, it only analyzes.
Details
Original description by the author
