    I just installed DeepSeek Harness for MacOS and it's a beast. The same great harness as before but now is an app you just click on your dock to run

    All settings and workspaces are transferred so you don't lose anything, the only thing it lacks is a way to increase/decrease font size with cmd + and cmd - so I'll work on a plugin for that

    I can't be happier

    Edit: Asked DSH for a plugin to increase/decrease font and it delivered. Love it. Then asked for a plugin to ring a bell on questions and tasks finished, of course it delivered flawlessly. The same plugin architecture, extensible by the same AI

      Yeah, changing the font size doesn't sound like it belongs in a plug-in, long term.

      IGNORE: Now, if only DeepSeek Harness were open source…

      (EDIT: DeepSeek Harness is open source—I missed it).

        Did I miss something? A quick search leads me to this:

        >DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source agent harness developed by DeepSeek AI.

        >It is built on an everything-is-a-plugin architecture and powered by Cordis, whose design is described in A Programming Paradigm for Spatiotemporal Composability.

        <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;deepseek-ai&#x2F;deepseek-harness" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;deepseek-ai&#x2F;deepseek-harness

        Now, this could simply be an attempt at sarcasm but it&#x27;s getting really hard to tell. There&#x27;s a handful of people in this thread saying that DeepSeek Harness is closed source.
