DeepSeek Harness integration simplified via configuration, bypassing plugin development

A developer found that extending the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) agent loop did not require building a traditional plugin. Instead, the desired functionality, which involved integrating a memory system, could be achieved by simply modifying a configuration file. This approach was significantly faster than the initial plan of creating an npm package and a GitHub repository. The developer also discovered a security feature in dsh that removes credential-like environment variables before spawning child processes, which could have caused issues for certain designs. AI

    Our DeepSeek Harness plugin turned out to be nine lines of YAML

    <p>A new agent harness comes out and your system needs to show up inside it. For you, that might be memory, a tool server or a policy layer. Reading "everything is a plugin" in the README, most of us start writing a plugin: a package, a repo, a hook on the agent loop. I did exact…
