DeepSeek Harness Rust SDK

English | 锟斤拷锟斤拷

Rust SDK for driving DeepSeek Harness. The SDK spawns the harness runtime as a subprocess and speaks the line-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol over its stdio. The runtime is the single-file executable distributed with the Python SDK; the Rust client is a clean-room reimplementation of the protocol, mirroring the Python SDK's layering.

Packages

Behavior

The SDK launches the runtime lazily and owns it across run() calls. With no explicit launch channel, the runtime-download feature (default) fetches the platform runtime wheel from a PyPI-style index, verifies its digest, and caches the executable; explicit runtime_bin or command/args callers can disable the feature. Low-level parity with the Python SDK includes per-call request timeout overrides (request_with_timeout), timeout diagnostics from the runtime's stderr tail, symlink-resolved cwd/runtime_cwd handling, and notification-filter failure containment. SDK reference covers lifecycle, results, notifications, runtime selection, configuration, and errors.

Examples

export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
cargo run --example deep_research -- "self-hosted vector databases"

Relationship to DeepSeek Harness

This repository is the standalone home of the Rust SDK. The runtime it drives is the single-file executable published as deepseek-harness-runtime-bin by the DeepSeek Harness project; the SDK speaks that runtime's documented stdio JSON-RPC protocol and pins its own version of the runtime wheel for testing. Contributions land as pull requests to this repository, which also owns crates.io publication of deepseek-harness-sdk-rs through Trusted Publishing.

Contributor workflow

Build and test with cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy --all-targets --features test-support -- -D warnings, and cargo test --features test-support; the test-support feature builds the dsh-fake-runtime binary the mechanism-tier tests drive. CI runs the keyless smoke tier against the real runtime executable downloaded from PyPI; locally it self-skips without the runtime environment variables.
