| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants consistent product names, terminology, and documentation style before merge. It applies the same rules to human- or AI-written prose locally and in CI. It is not a translator, semantic fact checker, or Arabic grammar checker through English packages. | 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. | Use it when DSH sessions pile up and you need to identify old work, archive it first, then safely remove what is no longer needed while protecting running sessions. It fits recurring cleanup and finished projects; do not enable automatic deletion before previewing the policy and checking backups. |
