A DeepSeek Harness bundle that hires agy-staff's personas as seven skills — /agy-ask, /agy-staffer, /agy-researcher, /agy-reviewer, /agy-implementer, plus /agy-lead and /agy-jobs.

What & Why

agy-staff hires Google's Antigravity CLI (agy, Gemini 3.8 Flash) as staff: the host agent hands out a survey, a review, or a scoped implementation, and gets a second model family back in seconds instead of grinding the same work itself. It ships as plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Pi and OpenCode.

DeepSeek Harness is not one of those hosts. dsh plugins are cordis bundles, not host plugin manifests, and dsh has no /agy: namespace: its composer menu matches the skill name from frontmatter, discovered through a registered skill provider. So this repo is not an installer script that copies files around — it is a dsh bundle that registers one provider serving the vendored personas:

dsh-agy-staff (bundle patch)
  └── row: dsh-agy-staff  (inject: ['skills'])
        └── ctx.skills.registerProvider(...)
              └── /agy-ask  /agy-staffer  /agy-researcher  /agy-reviewer
                  /agy-implementer  /agy-lead  /agy-jobs

Nothing is written into ~/.dsh/skills, nothing is junctioned, and no upstream checkout is required at runtime: the personas, the companion and the reference docs ship inside the package under assets/.

	Claude Code / Codex	DeepSeek Harness (this bundle)
Install	claude plugin install …	dsh plugin --profile <p> add …
Surface	/agy:ask	/agy-ask
Skill delivery	plugin manifest	ctx.skills.registerProvider
Shared resources	<plugin-root>/companion	resourceBase → <pkg>/assets/
Taking effect	next session	restart the app (bundles load at host start)

Install

Step 1 — the worker. Node.js and the Antigravity CLI, logged in once:

curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.sh | bash
agy --version

On Windows the installer puts agy.exe under %LOCALAPPDATA%\agy\bin; keep that on PATH.

Step 2 — install the bundle into a profile. dsh plugin forwards to pnpm in the profile directory and registers the bundle in dsh.profile.bundles:

git clone https://github.com/Adingo001/dsh-agy-staff.git
dsh plugin --profile desktop add "link:$PWD/dsh-agy-staff"

Or straight from GitHub, if you would rather not keep a clone:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add "github:Adingo001/dsh-agy-staff"

Step 3 — restart DeepSeek Harness. A skill directory is picked up live; a new bundle row is not. Quit the app and open it again, then type /agy in the composer: seven rows.

Step 4 — smoke test. ask is tool-free, so it needs no setup and answers in about three seconds:

node "$env:USERPROFILE\.dsh\profiles\desktop\node_modules\dsh-agy-staff\assets\companion\agy-companion.mjs" ask --prompt "reply with OK"

CUJs

Use case	Type this
Quick second opinion	/agy-ask what's your backend model
General task	/agy-staffer summarize the open TODOs in this repo
Generate an image	/agy-staffer generate a pixel-art robot mascot, save it as assets/mascot.png
Review the working tree	/agy-reviewer Review the current working tree
Review a PR	/agy-reviewer Review PR #12
Challenge a plan	/agy-reviewer Challenge the migration plan in docs/plan.md
Survey a topic	/agy-researcher how does auth work in this repo
Scoped implementation	/agy-implementer fix the flaky retry test
Orchestrate a task	/agy-lead investigate the options, draft a proposal, then revise it with my feedback
Job ops	/agy-jobs, or just "is the agy job done?"

Only ask blocks. The rest return a job id; the companion's wait collects the report, and in dsh you run that wait as a background command so the host keeps working — one wait per job, exit 2 means still running.

Core design

• One provider, seven candidates. index.js parses the vendored assets/skills/<persona>/SKILL.md frontmatter, serves the body as skill content, and reports rank: 600 (the packaged-provider precedence). It has no dependencies — Node builtins only.
• Name prefix is load-bearing. dsh has no colon namespace; /agy only lists something if the name starts with agy. The bundle therefore serves agy-<persona> while the on-disk directory keeps upstream's ask/jobs, so ../jobs/SKILL.md still resolves as written.
• resourceBase replaces junctions. Every candidate advertises { kind: 'directory', path: <pkg>/assets }; dsh tells the model to resolve relative references against that base, so ../../companion/agy-companion.mjs, ../jobs/references/setup.md and ../../docs/REFERENCE.md work untouched.
• Prose is localized at load. Upstream bodies say /agy:ask; the provider rewrites that to /agy-ask in descriptions and bodies, leaving the vendored files byte-identical to upstream.
• Upstream is vendored, not copied at install. assets/ holds the personas, companion, templates and reference docs at the commit recorded in assets/UPSTREAM-COMMIT; NOTICE spells out what came from where.

Updating

Upstream moved:

git -C <agy-staff-checkout> pull
node scripts/vendor-upstream.mjs --from <agy-staff-checkout>
npm test

Then restart the app. scripts/vendor-upstream.mjs copies the payload, rewrites assets/UPSTREAM-COMMIT, and warns when a path upstream dropped is missing.

This bundle itself:

git pull
dsh plugin --profile desktop add "link:$PWD"   # re-link after a move

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
/agy lists nothing	bundle row not loaded	check dsh-agy-staff is in the profile's dsh.profile.bundles, then restart the app
Warning: duplicate skill agy-ask	an older filesystem install is still in ~/.dsh/skills	delete ~/.dsh/skills/agy-* (the bundle takes over)
unknown subcommand: researcher	companion modes are research / review / implement	call the mode, not the skill directory name
ask hangs or 401	agy needs a localhost port plus its OAuth token	run it unsandboxed and log agy in once
Skill body's relative path 404s	assets/ incomplete after a manual edit	re-run node scripts/vendor-upstream.mjs
Everything vanished after reinstall	the row id changed to a package name pnpm cannot resolve	dsh plugin --profile desktop why dsh-agy-staff

Credits

This is an adapter, not the invention. The design that makes it worth using — the five personas, the companion, the job protocol, the prompts, and the bench that measures them — belongs to keli-wen and the agy-staff contributors. Go star upstream; if you use this bundle you are using their work.

• Upstream: https://github.com/keli-wen/agy-staff (MIT, vendored at 9ddec3e)
• Bench v1 report: English · 中文
• Worker: Antigravity CLI

Thanks also to the DeepSeek Harness authors: a skill registry that accepts a provider from any bundle is what made a real plugin possible here.
