What is Quorum?
If you are coming from Google Antigravity or multi-agent orchestration frameworks, Quorum brings the deep-reasoning /boost protocol to DeepSeek Harness (dsh).
In standard harness sessions, LLMs often exhibit complacency: declaring tasks "fixed" without running test suites, missing regressions, or getting stuck in conversational loops.
Quorum solves this by construction:
- Strategy First — The orchestrator inspects the workspace, decomposes the objective, and writes verifiable acceptance criteria before delegating.
- Parallel Fan-out — Work is dispatched in a single turn to role-isolated subagents with zero context contamination.
- Mandatory Adversarial Verification — An independent verifier runs in the foreground to aggressively attempt to falsify the solution against real test suites and entry points. No conclusion is delivered without raw execution output proving the verdict.
Three Tailored Presets
Quorum installs three selectable agent presets under Settings → Agent Presets:
| Preset | Base Harness Preset | Tool Presentation & Execution | Best For |
|---|
Quorum (PTC) | ptc.patch.yml | Programmatic Tool Calling (run_code + generated TypeScript SDK) inherited recursively by all subagents | Maximum token efficiency, complex workflows, high-speed automated code generation |
Quorum (Standard) | standard.patch.yml | Native tool calls (direct JSON schema calls) + workflow engine | Standard models and native tool inspection |
Quorum (Shell) | minimal.patch.yml | Bare persistent shell (pwsh/bash with persistent state across turns) | Interactive shell tasks, stateful build environments |
Three Isolated Worker Roles
Subagents are created with strict mechanical boundaries (toolFilter):
┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ Quorum Orchestrator Lead │
│ (Strategy, Plan, Integrate) │
└───────────────┬───────────────┘
│
┌─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
┌─────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────┐
│ subagent_investigate│ │ subagent_implement │ │ subagent_verify │
│ (DeepInvestigator) │ │ (DeepCoder) │ │(Adversarial Verifier│
├─────────────────────┤ ├─────────────────────┤ ├─────────────────────┤
│ • Read-only │ │ • Scoped diffs │ │ • Foreground run │
│ • Write denied │ │ • Unit tests │ │ • Write denied │
│ • Delegation denied │ │ • Delegation denied │ │ • Falsification │
└─────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────┘
subagent_investigate (DeepInvestigator): Strictly read-only (write, edit, git commit denied). Traces call graphs, inspects logs, and eliminates hypotheses with raw proof.subagent_implement (DeepCoder): Owns bounded file diffs and writes tests. Cannot delegate.subagent_verify (Adversarial Verifier): Runs independently in the foreground. Attacks the implementation with real suites and boundary inputs. Rejects paraphrases — only raw command output is admissible.
The Seven Companion Host Services
Quorum is not just a prompt; it mounts seven battle-tested infrastructure services:
boost-job-relay — Re-routes background job settlement notices to the root session when child workers complete early.dsh-detached-jobs (run_detached) — Allows long-running builds/tests to survive disposable workers by attaching ownership to the root session.dsh-boost-channel (channel_post / channel_read) — Typed, throttled asynchronous back-channel between workers and the lead (decouverte, avancement, question, resultat, echec).dsh-boost-context-budget — Context occupancy meter (context_occupancy) and fork protection threshold. Supports requested compaction (context_compact).dsh-guard-surrogate — Intercepts and repairs unpaired UTF-16 surrogates in tool results before session logging, preventing fatal HTTP 400 INVALID_REQUEST errors.agent-teams-shield — Automatically shields Quorum sessions from tool shadowing when @deepseek-ai/dsh-experimental-agent-team is active in the host profile.boost-status-command (/boost-status) — Command-plane status monitor that responds even while a tool call is in flight.
Quick Start & Installation

dsh plugin add ./dsh-quorum
Option 2: Install into a specific profile
dsh plugin --profile web add C:\path\to\dsh-quorum
Select in the Web GUI:
Go to Settings → Agent Presets, then select Quorum (PTC), Quorum (Standard), or Quorum (Shell).
Présentation en Français
Le mode Quorum pour DeepSeek Harness
Ce dépôt consolide les sources et l'infrastructure du mode Quorum : une famille de trois presets d'agent DSH pour le raisonnement profond multi-agents avec vérification adversariale obligatoire, conçue pour éliminer les complaisances et les hallucinations d'ingénierie.
Pourquoi « Quorum » ?
En systèmes distribués, un quorum est le nombre minimal de membres devant s'accorder pour qu'une décision soit valide. Dans ce mode, l'orchestrateur ne peut rien livrer tant que le vérificateur indépendant n'a pas falsifié et validé le résultat sur pièces brutes.
Les 10 lignes montées par le bundle agrégateur
cordis.patch.yml monte exactement les 10 lignes suivantes :
preset-quorum-ptc · preset-quorum-standard · preset-quorum-shell ·
boost-job-relay · boost-status-command · dsh-detached-jobs ·
dsh-guard-surrogate · dsh-boost-channel · dsh-boost-context-budget · dsh-boost-lessons
| Paquet | Rôle | Tests |
|---|
packages/boost-mode/ | Les 3 presets Quorum (quorum-ptc, quorum-standard, quorum-shell) | Anti-dérive racine |
packages/boost-relay/ | Relais hôte des règlements de jobs orphelins vers la racine | 29/29 |
packages/boost-status/ | Commande /boost-status lisible même en cours d'appel d'outil | 10/10 |
packages/detached-jobs/ | Outil run_detached pour jobs persistants rattachés à la racine | 58/58 |
packages/guard-surrogate/ | Réparation des surrogates UTF-16 isolés + Bouclier d'immunité Agent Teams | 31/31 |
packages/boost-channel/ | Canal typé à double bourse (channel_post, channel_read) | 52/52 |
packages/boost-context-budget/ | Mesure d'occupation, garde du fork et compaction demandée | 36/36 |
packages/boost-lessons/ | Journalisation passive des compactions de racine | 14/14 |
Tests et Validation
La suite complète s'exécute avec le runner natif de Node.js :
node --test
Résultat : 291/291 tests passés, 0 échec.
test/aggregate.test.mjs : Test anti-dérive strict garantissant la cohérence absolue entre le patch agrégateur racine et les sous-paquets.- Éprouvé en conditions réelles sur un corpus mesuré de plus d'un milliard de tokens.
