dshline

A terminal-native frontend for DeepSeek Harness.

dshline is an in-process Harness presentation adapter, not a separate client or agent runtime. Finished output stays in the terminal's real scrollback while only a bounded live region is redrawn.

Harness plugin → standard capability → dshline presentation adapter → native terminal UI

Harness owns capabilities, state, runtime, and policy; dshline presents supported Harness capabilities natively in the terminal. It prefers generic capability contracts over provider-specific integrations, so a provider that participates in a supported Harness seam can share the same terminal presentation.

npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh @dshline/dshline
dshline

The first run asks once before letting Harness create the dshline profile and install this package into it; dshline --setup does that install explicitly, for a script or a source checkout. pnpm has to be on your PATH for either, because the harness installs profile plugins with pnpm — dshline checks first and says so rather than leaving a half-made profile behind.

dshline supports one Harness generation at a time. If installation reports a dependency conflict, do not bypass it with --force or --legacy-peer-deps; see the repository's installation guide.

The presentation core is small and dependency-light; its renderer has no runtime dependencies and knows nothing about agents or providers.

For installation requirements, usage, architecture, security guidance, and the canonical roadmap, see the dshline repository.
