# dsh-superagent — AI Coding Tool Review & Pricing > dsh-superagent is a research prototype from the DeepSeek Harness team of a proactive coding agent that serves one GitHub repository. It listens to GitHub and optionally Feishu, decides under a team-written Policy whether a request is authorized, runs each authorized request as a Ticket in its own DSH session, and replies in the original conversation, for example with a pull request. Source: https://ai.dosa.dev/tools/dsh-superagent · Updated Nov 1, 2026 · Category: Autonomous & Async Agents · Published by dosa.dev ## At a glance - **Tool**: dsh-superagent - **Company**: DeepSeek - **Category**: [Autonomous & Async Agents](https://ai.dosa.dev/category/async-agents) - **Pricing model**: Open Source - **Official website**: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/dsh-superagent-prototype ## Key features - Packaged as a DeepSeek Harness bundle that listens to GitHub issues and pull requests, with optional Feishu chat - Eval gate with allowed-sender lists, admission rules and per-Ticket Mandates that messages cannot override - Each authorized request becomes a Ticket executed in its own DSH session and working directory - Superagent web panel with Overview, Source, Trigger, Eval, Execution and Settings tabs that surfaces work needing a person - Agent-guided setup: a coding agent follows SETUP.md and asks the operator one question at a time ## Pricing **Model**: Open Source dsh-superagent is free and open-source under the MIT license. It runs on your own machine inside DeepSeek Harness, so the only costs are the model provider you configure for DSH and any GitHub or Feishu accounts you connect. ## Who it is for - **Best for**: Teams already experimenting with DeepSeek Harness who want an always-on agent that picks up authorized requests from GitHub and answers with pull requests, and who want to study DeepSeek's super-agent design. - **Not ideal for**: Production use or teams wanting a supported product: DeepSeek labels it research code that may contain bugs, it covers a single repository, and it depends on alpha DSH packages plus Node.js, pnpm, tmux and the GitHub CLI. ## Verdict A rare look at how a frontier lab runs an autonomous, attention-saving coding agent internally, worth studying and trying with DeepSeek Harness, but explicitly a prototype rather than something to depend on. ## Recent updates Published on 2026-10-31 as version 0.1.0 alongside DeepSeek's article "Exploring Super-agent Design: Towards a More Autonomous Agent System"; it gathered more than 6,700 GitHub stars within its first day. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is dsh-superagent free?
