DSH Agent Team Planner
中文 | English
A project-planning workbench for DeepSeek Harness Agent Teams.
DSH Agent Teams gives you the team and the task board. DSH Agent Team Planner adds the layer above it: requirements, versions, stage gates, meetings, documents, confirmations and scheduling — so a group of agents behaves like a small delivery team instead of a chat room.
One workspace = one project team. One version = one delivery pipeline. One click = the next legal move.

Why this exists
Agent Teams is excellent at coordination primitives: spawn a teammate, assign a task, wait, complete. It intentionally does not decide what should be built, when a phase is allowed to start, or which document is the source of truth.
This plugin supplies those decisions as a visible, auditable workflow:
| Without the planner | With the planner |
|---|
| Tasks appear from a conversation | Requirements enter a version, then a gate opens |
| "Is architecture done?" lives in chat | Architecture doc is an artifact; confirmation advances the stage |
| Members are ad-hoc names | Reusable roles, per-member model routes, display names |
| Meeting notes are pasted somewhere | Meeting output becomes version-linked documents |
| Off-peak work needs manual timing | High-efficiency mode schedules member work in idle windows |
It is a community plugin. It uses public Host services and the official Agent Teams API; it does not fork, patch or bypass DSH.
Feature tour
1. A single workbench, not another chat tab
The left-rail entry dsh-agent-team-planner opens a full main-area workbench with three tabs:
- Version Board — version header, five-stage pipeline, active tasks, timeline, team load, artifacts and manual confirmations.
- Requirements — a dedicated requirement workspace: create, edit, attach files, assign members, bind to versions.
- Meetings — version-scoped requirement clarification, architecture review, test review and custom meetings.
The top bar keeps project context together: current project, workspace switcher, current version, version switcher, workspace folder opener, language toggle, Settings and Back to conversation.
The layout is dense by design: 60/40 main/side columns, internal scrolling, adaptive page sizes, no page-level scroll.
2. Requirements with real attachments
- Create requirements with title, description and multi-select members.
- The team lead always participates; selected members become the first-choice assignees.
- Upload multiple attachments:
txt / doc / docx / xls / xlsx / png / jpg / jpeg, up to 10 MB each.
- Files are stored under the workspace state directory and appear inside the requirement dialog with open and remove actions.
- Requirement documents are artifacts, not hidden prompts.
3. Versions, gates and task dispatch
A version moves through:
Requirement -> Architecture -> Development -> Review -> Testing -> Done
- Requirement stage: requirement docs must be confirmed before entering architecture.
- Architecture stage: an architecture document must be confirmed before development.
- Development: task specs are generated/edited, then dispatched as official Agent Teams tasks.
- Review/testing: completion creates review/test tasks; confirmed reports advance the version.
- Completed/archived versions are read-only: requirements, artifacts, captures and meetings cannot be edited.
Task specs can be produced by a local deterministic splitter (selected developers first, then architecture document / requirement text) or edited manually as JSON. The splitter never blocks on an agent turn, so it works even while the lead is busy.
4. Members: configured first, activated on first use
- Six default profiles are available for new projects: Luna (Product), Kael (Architect), Zoe (Frontend), Owen (Backend), Mia (Test), Jasper (Ops).
member.create is configuration-only. It does not spawn an official teammate, start a conversation, or run a task.- The official teammate is created lazily on first dispatch or first meeting participation; an existing official teammate with the same name is adopted instead of duplicated.
- Per-member model route: provider / model / reasoning effort.
- Blocked members stop receiving dispatch; removed members stay in the official roster but leave the project roster.
- Roles display by display name everywhere in the UI.
5. Meetings that produce version documents
- Requirement clarification: participants discuss; generated output immediately becomes a version-linked requirement-doc draft, visible on the board; saving the requirement reuses that document.
- Architecture review: entering architecture automatically creates and starts an architecture review with Product and Architect; the architect produces an architecture-design document from a dedicated template. Confirming it archives the document.
- Meeting page: participant checkboxes, host selection, speaking progress, generated-document links, transcript pagination and rendered Markdown.
- Meeting guardrails are injected into prompts: no code generation/edits, no workflow/config/task changes; discuss the topic and produce conclusions/minutes.
- Non-participants are told to wait; task dispatch is paused for non-participants while a meeting is active.
6. Human confirmations, not hidden assumptions
The Manual confirmations section sits under artifacts:
- Development-complete confirmation with a per-task/per-artifact breakdown.
- Confirm and enter review in one action.
- Reject with a required reason; the reason is persisted, shown on the pending item and sent to the developer.
- Draft review/test reports can be opened as rendered Markdown and approved.
Approving a review/test report no longer depends on a task binding being marked complete: the confirmed document itself advances the stage.
7. High-efficiency mode (DeepSeek idle windows)
Settings has a real switch for High-efficiency mode (default off). When enabled:
- New member task dispatch and artifact capture are gated to DeepSeek idle time.
- Peak windows (Beijing time, Mon–Fri excluding Chinese statutory holidays):
09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00.
- Weekends, Chinese public holidays (2026 schedule built in) and all other hours are idle.
- Running tasks continue; pending tasks wait.
- When an idle window opens, state polling resumes the pump automatically.
- The board shows whether the scheduler is currently waiting or active.
8. Documents are documents
- Every artifact has View details and opens in a Markdown-rendered modal.
- Draft artifacts still keep Edit; editing remains raw text by design.
- Meeting transcripts and system messages are summarized; details are rendered, not dumped as Markdown source.
- Artifacts are version-linked; requirement docs, architecture docs and minutes stay visible on the board.
9. Persistence and recovery
- Planner state is workspace-scoped, not tied to whichever session the UI happened to select. Returning to chat and reopening the workbench keeps the same state.
- State writes are serialized, atomic (unique temp + fsync + rename retry) and revision-checked.
- Data-bearing backups are rotated (last 10); empty snapshots never displace real ones.
- Corrupt/missing reads are distinguished from transient Windows locks; recovery can restore from a data-bearing backup.
- Official tasks that are cold after an app restart fall back to persisted bindings for the task list and timeline.
10. Bilingual, accessible, dark-first
- Chinese / English / Russian UI; the plugin follows the DSH locale and falls back to English for unsupported locales.
- Dark developer-tool palette, 4/8 px spacing rhythm, semantic status colors.
- Focus-visible rings, role/switch/aria-checked semantics, Esc-closable modals, reduced-motion CSS.
- Pagination and adaptive row counts for tasks, artifacts, members and timeline.
Requirements
- DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.2 or a compatible 0.2.x release, with the official Agent Teams profile enabled.
- Node.js 20+.
- Windows, macOS or Linux. The manual installer is PowerShell; the plugin itself is Node.js.
Install (GitHub, no npm package)
This project is distributed from GitHub only; there is no npm package.
git clone https://github.com/haistar/dsh-agent-team-planner.git
cd dsh-agent-team-planner
# links the plugin into the `web` profile and registers its bundle
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-manual.ps1
# restart DSH Web
The installer backs up the profile manifest, adds a link: dependency, registers the bundle and copies the published files. To uninstall:
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\uninstall-manual.ps1
Quick start
- Open a workspace and bind a Team Session in Settings → Team.
- Create a version.
- Add requirements; assign members and attach files.
- Run a requirement-clarification meeting; generate and confirm the requirement doc.
- Enter architecture design — the architecture review meeting opens automatically.
- Generate and confirm the architecture doc.
- Start development; task specs are dispatched to selected developers.
- When development completes, use Manual confirmations → Confirm and enter review.
- Confirm review and test reports; the version completes and artifacts archive.

Configuration reference
| Area | Behavior |
|---|
| Team | Bind one Team Session per workspace; rebind or rebuild missing members |
| Roles | 7 built-in + custom roles; editable prompts; members without overrides follow role prompt |
| Members | Display name, role, model route, block, logical removal, create-on-first-use |
| Requirements | Multi-file attachments; assignees; task-spec editor; version binding |
| Meetings | Requirement clarification, architecture review, test review, custom; participant checkboxes |
| High-efficiency | Switch + idle-window gating; 2026 Chinese holiday calendar built in |
| State | .dsh_teams/planner/state.json in the workspace; backups alongside |
Troubleshooting
- Plugin entry missing — restart DSH Web after install; confirm the profile bundle list contains
dsh-agent-team-planner.
- "session/agent-busy" — the plugin now prefers root sessions and resolves a subagent session's parent; refresh after upgrading from an older build.
- Tasks disappear after restart — the task list falls back to persisted bindings; timeline falls back to binding history. If the whole workbench is empty, verify the workspace path and that the state file exists under
.dsh_teams/planner/.
- High-efficiency waiting — outside
Mon–Fri 09:00–12:00 / 14:00–18:00 (Beijing) tasks are suspended by design; weekends and Chinese public holidays are idle all day.
- Meeting still says "in progress" — finish the meeting or check that
closedAt is set; the dock and prompt sections only consider active, non-closed meetings.
Security and privacy
- No telemetry, analytics or external service calls from the planner.
- All planning data and attachments stay in the workspace under
.dsh_teams/planner/.
- No credentials are stored by the plugin; model routes reference provider/model identifiers only.
- Agent execution remains owned by DSH and the official Agent Teams runtime.
Known limitations
- Built and tested against DSH
0.2.1-rc.2; newer DSH releases may change Host/client seams.
- GitHub-only distribution; no npm package.
- Chinese holiday calendar currently covers 2026; future years need an annual update.
- Token usage is not exposed by the official task view; task details state this explicitly instead of inventing numbers.
- Custom in-conversation confirmation requests are not yet extracted automatically; the manual-confirmation section derives from development completion and draft reports.
Upgrading
This is a GitHub-only, copy/link installation with no npm package and no auto-updater. Upgrade with git pull --ff-only, re-run scripts/install-manual.ps1, then restart DSH Web. See UPGRADING.md for rollback, custom profiles and state notes.
