| Best use | Best for a developer using DeepSeek Harness who wants session files, changes, and parallel jobs visible beside the conversation. It adds session-specific context and separates Side Chat questions from the main flow. It is not a standalone full IDE and requires a compatible DSH release. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants an AI agent to complete an inspectable task in a working copy: understand files, make a bounded change, and run a test. Start with manual approval and scope the folder and tools. Do not give it broad access to production or sensitive data. | For a Python developer or small team that wants a shared setup rather than relying on manually installed packages. Commit the dependency definition and lockfile, then sync the environment and run commands with uv. It does not isolate the operating system or untrusted code, or replace application compatibility tests. |
