MIT-licensed governance framework that turns DeepSeek Harness into an evidence-driven, verified-delivery agent runtime via `odai-dsh-plugin` (profile-wide) or `odai-dsh-agent` (session-scoped), invoked through `/odai`.

01What can it help you accomplish?
Run AI-agent task execution with evidence-based planning, scheduling, verification, and delivery
a verified, deliverable result that respects the real objective, facts, authorization, risks, and acceptance
Developers and teams on DeepSeek Harness (dsh) who want agents to move with autonomy but not false confidence
Apply Odai governance across every DSH agent preset (profile-wide) or as a scoped, session-scoped Agent preset
DSH presets that align objective, facts, authorization, and acceptance before acting and verify before delivery
DSH users who want one governance layer over all presets, or a selectable opt-in preset
Keep simple requests lightweight and prevent false delivery claims
lightweight handling on easy work and explicit, evidence-backed status instead of claimed-but-unverified results
Anyone worried about agents over-claiming tested, delegated, reviewed, or verified work
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- `pnpm` must be on `PATH` for the `odai-dsh-plugin` profile install (`dsh plugin --profile … add odai-dsh-plugin`); the README states the Plugin command requires `pnpm` on `PATH`.
Installation steps
- 01
Install the unified skill entry point: `npx skills add https://github.com/orziz/odai --skill odai`, then invoke it with `/odai`.
$ npx skills add https://github.com/orziz/odai --skill odai
- 02
Apply Odai governance to every agent preset in a profile: `dsh plugin --profile web add odai-dsh-plugin`.
$ dsh plugin --profile web add odai-dsh-plugin
- 03
Or install a selectable, session-scoped Odai Agent preset: `npx odai-dsh-agent install`.
$ npx odai-dsh-agent install

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Ships two DSH-native packages — `odai-dsh-plugin` applies Odai governance to every agent preset in a profile, and `odai-dsh-agent` adds a selectable, session-scoped Odai Agent preset — installed via the dsh CLI.
Adaptive task-execution kernel
a user task via `/odai` (slash command or plain language)→the shortest sufficient path plus act → verify → deliver, scaled to complexity, clarity, risk, and domain
Profile-wide governance — odai-dsh-plugin
a DSH profile, e.g. `dsh plugin --profile web add odai-dsh-plugin`→every agent preset in the profile gains Odai governance
applies Odai governance to every agent preset in one profileSession-scoped Agent preset — odai-dsh-agent
`npx odai-dsh-agent install`→a selectable, session-scoped Odai Agent preset
preserves every capability from the pinned DSH Standard preset and adds Odai as a scoped extensionOutput modes (soft concise / normal / economy)
an explicit user choice of output mode→both DSH packages default to soft concise; normal or economy mode can be selected (economy adds a user-adjustable provider output ceiling, default 500)
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Developers and teams on DeepSeek Harness (dsh) who want agents to move with autonomy but not false confidence
- DSH users who want one governance layer over all presets, or a selectable opt-in preset
- Anyone worried about agents over-claiming tested, delegated, reviewed, or verified work
Not for
- The `odai-dsh-plugin` install command requires `pnpm` on `PATH`; without it the plugin cannot be added to a profile.
- The `odai-dsh-agent` installer only supports `dsh@0.1.0-rc.7`, `dsh@0.1.1-rc.1`, and `dsh@0.1.1-rc.2`; other dsh versions are not guaranteed to work.
- odai's hook guardrails are a lightweight fuse alongside host permissions, sandboxing, and human confirmation — not a complete security boundary; review the generated adapter and `.odai/hooks.json` before enabling them.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install ODAI for DeepSeek Harness?
DSH users can install either integration independently. Run `dsh plugin --profile web add odai-dsh-plugin` to apply Odai governance to every agent preset in a profile, or `npx odai-dsh-agent install` for a selectable, session-scoped Odai Agent preset. The unified skill entry point (`npx skills add https://github.com/orziz/odai --skill odai`) also works and is invoked with `/odai`.
What is the difference between odai-dsh-plugin and odai-dsh-agent?
Plugin applies Odai governance to every agent preset in one profile — profile-wide behavior. Agent installs a selectable, session-scoped Odai Agent preset that preserves every capability from the pinned DSH Standard preset and adds Odai as a scoped extension. The README notes installing both is normally redundant.
Does odai replace the model's judgment with a rigid workflow?
No. It embeds governance into execution: it chooses the shortest sufficient path, verifies from real files, commands, logs, tests, or project context, and keeps lightweight tasks lightweight instead of turning every request into ceremony. It does not replace the model's judgment.
Are odai's hook guardrails a security boundary?
No. Hooks are a lightweight fuse alongside host permissions, sandboxing, and human confirmation — not a complete security boundary. They are not installed or enabled by default and only enforce project-declared read-only paths and acceptance commands.
