This is a curated, awesome-list style guide to DeepSeek Harness (DSH), DeepSeek AI's open-source Agent Harness framework. It collects the official quickstart, official resources, community tutorials, third-party clients, and curated plugins in one place.Is this a tool I run, or just a curated list of links?It's purely a curated markdown list with no code of its own — it points to the official DSH repo, the Python SDK, tutorials, plugins, and third-party clients rather than being installable software itself.

Many third-party plugins and clients listed here are also flagged as early-stage or unsigned.
