Claude Code parity for the DeepSeek Harness
headless app: pick a model and continue a conversation from the command line.
The stock headless app runs one task with the default model and forgets it. This replaces it
with one that takes --model, --resume and --continue, so a shell script or an agent can
hold a real conversation across invocations.
Flags
dsh --profile headless-plus --session-info "reply with the single word ok"
dsh --profile headless-plus --continue "and again"
dsh --profile headless-plus --model deepseek/deepseek-chat "summarise README.md"
Install
dsh plugin --profile headless add @dennisrongo/dsh-headless-plus
Needs a profile built on @deepseek-ai/dsh-base + @deepseek-ai/dsh-headless. The package
mounts itself: its own cordis.patch.yml disables the two stock headless rows and inserts
its replacements. Do not repeat any of that in your profile — a duplicate id is fatal
(duplicate loader entry id: headless-plus-startup).
This is a replacement app, not an addition, which is why it disables another bundle's rows.
Update
dsh plugin --profile headless outdated
dsh plugin --profile headless update @dennisrongo/dsh-headless-plus
dsh plugin forwards to pnpm, so outdated, update and remove all behave normally. A
caret range only moves within its major; cross one with
add @dennisrongo/dsh-headless-plus@latest. There is no build step — lib/ is hand-written
and committed — but the app is a CLI, so changes apply on the next run, not a refresh.
How it works
Two plugins, two rows. lib/startup.js owns the flag family via commander and publishes a
headlessPlusStartup service carrying the parsed task and options; lib/index.js resolves the
session target, applies any model override, runs the agent and prints the result. Each dsh app
owns its own flags, so these do not collide with the launcher's.
Resuming goes through the public ctx.agents.resume(). --resume latest maps the cwd to its
session directory using the same slug rule as dsh-session-persistence-jsonl (separators → -,
wrapped in --); if that upstream convention changes this breaks, and test/smoke.mjs is what
catches it.
commander is a real dependency; every @deepseek-ai/* is a peer supplied by your dsh install.
See AGENTS.md for the mount rows, dev loop and verification recipe.
