DeepSeek

Use when designing, reviewing, adding, enabling, disabling, installing, configuring, or debugging a plugin, bundle, feature, page, panel, tool, or MCP connection in the current Harness profile, including a shipped plugin that is disabled by default, and for any visual object, decoration, or widget request that names no other destination, which means an installed UI plugin rendered in the Harness Web UI.

Use when adding, auditing, pruning, archiving, restoring, or reviewing Agent Notes in deepseek-harness; checks every new note for superseded active records, deletes small UI and purely mechanical records, classifies other implemented notes by future decision value, deletes rejected notes that no longer prevent a tempting fallacy, and applies the frozen archived/{kind} triplet and manifest rules.

Use when reviewing a pull request in the deepseek-harness repo — orients the reviewer to this codebase's standards (AGENTS.md conventions, defensive patterns, ADRs, quality gates) and the review-specific checks that code alone can't show

Find evidence-backed simplifications in DeepSeek Harness code, APIs, configuration, tests, and prose; write or consolidate proposals, identify small inline cleanups, or assess simplifications from another branch. Use for removing dead, duplicated, speculative, or unnecessarily maintained behavior and infrastructure.

Use when landing a stack of dependent GitHub PRs (A ← B ← C, where each bases on the one below) onto master, merging a PR whose base is another open PR's branch, or whenever a request mentions "stacked PRs", "PR stack", "dependent PRs", or merging several related PRs in sequence. Requires every same-repository dependency chain to use GitHub's official stacked-PR feature before landing so GitHub owns stack-wide rules, CI, ordering, retargeting, and merge state.

Use before pushing, force-pushing, marking ready for review, or claiming checks pass on a deepseek-harness branch, and immediately after gh stack sync publishes rewritten branches, to select the smallest tests and checks that cover the outgoing or just-published diff without reflexively running the full repository suite.

Use when writing, reviewing, restoring, trimming, or auditing prose in the deepseek-harness repo, including deciding where documentation or comments are required across Markdown, JSDoc, code and test comments, prompts, descriptions, diagnostics, and CLI or UI strings.

Manually run the extended DeepSeek Harness bilingual-document workflow, including generated briefings, delegated prose translation, whole-document translation, and scoped pairing verification.

Use when auditing or fixing prose that reads like a leaked reasoning transcript — dead design-session citations such as (decision N), audit item codes, or §N of uncommitted drafts; change narration such as "used to", "no longer", "this cut"; stack or review vantage ("a later PR in this stack", "rejected in review"); reviewer-addressed justifications; control-flow narration; or hedged planning residue in comments, JSDoc, docs, or Agent Notes.

Use when creating, changing, or validating an agent preset or other Cordis composition for this harness, including deciding host versus preset placement and checking that an authored preset mounts.

Prove user-disabled skills remain available to the model.

Record browser or Web UI interaction demos as optimized GIFs using the available browser-control workflow, optional Playwright Videos for higher capture frame rates, and deterministic encoding, then attach the GIF to a pull request with `gh --attach`, falling back to a dedicated assets branch where attach cannot apply. Use when asked to make, record, or generate a GIF that demonstrates a browser workflow, and for every pull request that changes product-user-visible GUI behavior, which MUST include a GIF recorded from the pull request's real server and model flow.

Exercise project skill discovery and loading in snapshot tests.

Prove model-disabled skills stay outside the model catalog.
