01What can it help you accomplish?
Watch and steer a DeepSeek Harness agent's full turn from the terminal
Streaming replies, reasoning, tool calls, subagents, Plans, token usage and persistent sessions rendered natively in the terminal
Developers and agent users running DeepSeek Harness who want to see and steer agent work live in the terminal
Add images to prompts and keep persistent sessions from the terminal
Prompts with files / clipboard images; sessions managed via /new, /resume and --session-id with workspace, model, permission and UI choices restored
Terminal users who want session continuity and inline image input while driving an agent
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Node.js installed locally (the README says installing via npm requires Node.js on the machine, and pnpm may also be needed)
Installation steps
- 01
Install globally and launch: `npm install --global martty` then run `martty`
$ npm install --global martty
- 02
Or run without installing: `npx --yes martty`
$ npx --yes martty
- 03
Hand it to DSH to manage: `npm install --global @deepseek-ai/dsh`, then `dsh plugin --profile martty add martty@latest`, then `dsh --profile martty`
$ npm install --global @deepseek-ai/dsh
- 04
UI-only preview: `martty --demo` or `martty --demo-skin`

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
DSH-first ACP client. Ships with the same Cordis plugin capability as DSH and connects to DeepSeek Harness (dsh) by default through a built-in ACP layer; can also run as a dsh-managed plugin.
Terminal agent-work view
Streaming events from DeepSeek Harness / any compatible ACP agent→Streaming replies, reasoning, tool calls, subagents, Plans, token usage and persistent sessions shown natively in the terminal
Image input and terminal-native preview
Images from a file or the clipboard→Images added to the prompt; tool output, Markdown, code blocks and image previews rendered with terminal-native interaction
Session management
Commands `/new`, `/resume` and the `--session-id` flag→Workspace, model, permission and interface choices restored with the session; messages can be queued or the running agent steered mid-turn
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Developers and agent users running DeepSeek Harness who want to see and steer agent work live in the terminal
- Terminal users who want session continuity and inline image input while driving an agent

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install and run Martty?
Install it globally with `npm install --global martty` and then run `martty`, or skip the install and run `npx --yes martty` directly. Both need Node.js on your machine (the README notes pnpm may also be required).
How does Martty connect to DeepSeek Harness?
Martty is DSH-first: it reuses DSH's Cordis plugin capability and ships a built-in ACP layer that connects to DSH on startup by default. You can also let DSH manage it via `dsh plugin --profile martty add martty@latest` and `dsh --profile martty`.
What does the terminal UI show?
It renders the agent's full turn natively in the terminal: streaming replies, reasoning, tool calls, subagents, Plans, token usage and persistent sessions. Tool output, Markdown, code blocks and image previews all use terminal-native interaction.
How do I manage sessions and add images?
Add images to a prompt from a file or the clipboard, and manage sessions with `/new`, `/resume` and `--session-id` — workspace, model, permission and interface choices are restored with the session. While a turn runs you can queue more messages or steer the current agent.
Can I try the UI without connecting an agent?
Yes — run `martty --demo` or `martty --demo-skin` to see the interface without a live DSH connection.
