| 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 a developer or project owner working on a substantial feature or a difficult bug. It helps clarify requirements, approve a plan, and inspect tests and file changes. Its value is a visible path from decision to verification. A small text edit may not need the full workflow. | Best for an individual developer or small team using coding agents and wanting to review the specification and plan before code. It keeps tasks, acceptance criteria, and decisions inside the project and exposes them through CLI, a local browser, or MCP. It is not a replacement for a centralized enterprise SaaS board with organization-wide permissions and reporting. |
