deepseek-harness for vscode .This is a community project, and we welcome your valuable feedback!
deepseek-harness-for-vscode embeds the official DSH agent runtime inside a native VS Code workbench. It provides chat, approvals, token usage, code and diff workflows, plus a plugin center that merges GitHub topic results with curated Awesome DSH metadata. Plugin operations use the official profile add/remove flow while the extension pauses and restarts its private Harness home automatically; compatibility labels prevent themes and Web-only layout packages from being installed into a workbench they cannot affect.
Install
Download the platform VSIX from https://github.com/skymecode/deepseek-harness-for-vscode/releases and use VS Code: Install from VSIXPick the VSIX matching the operating system and CPU architecture; no separate Harness or Node setup is required.
Compatibility
Native VS Code extension with platform-specific VSIX builds. Bundles its own Harness runtime and pnpm; UI-only DSH plugins are marked incompatible with the native workbench.
