Interactive long-session background agents and persistent multi-agent team rooms for DeepSeek Harness.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add "github:PerryLink/dsh-background-agents#main"Plugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Spawns durable continuable child agents using the official subagent seam
- Provides interactive steering tools (background_agent, bg_message, bg_list, bg_result, bg_stop)
- Injects automated progress notifications and manages idle background agent archiving
- Offers persistent multi-agent team rooms with shared message bus, task boards, and timelines
- Provides Web UI sidebar panel integration for real-time subagent monitoring and control
- Supports stdio JSON-RPC inbound bridge for external agent frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK and CrewAI
Useful For
- Running long-lived research, monitoring, or testing tasks in the background without blocking active chats
- Steering and messaging background agent tasks over multiple iterative turns
- Coordinating multi-agent collaborative workflows with shared task boards and approval-gated handoffs
- Monitoring background execution progress and metrics directly from the Web UI sidebar
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness developers needing asynchronous subagents for long-running workflows
- Teams building multi-agent collaborative systems across persistent sessions
- Power users managing multiple background tasks within DSH
Documented Limitations
- Team rooms require @deepseek-ai/dsh-storage-domain to be configured and mounted
- Configured provider must support continuable subagents (prepareContinuable)
- Subagents are process-local to the DSH deployment and not distributed across machines
- Cost observability reports raw token counts and durations rather than converted monetary currency
