| Best use | Best for a developer or analyst extracting text from several document formats before search or supplying selected passages to an AI agent. It provides a repeatable CLI command and Python library, while requiring review against the original. It is not intended for layout-perfect document publishing. | 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 small team using DSH for recurring or connected work and wanting task state and execution evidence in one record. It pins the project, agent preset, and permission, then runs manually or through Host cron with a human gate for elevated access. It is not a fit for a frequently sleeping machine or unreviewed sensitive automation. |
