Use Litho as a separate Rust CLI to generate C4 documentation from a repository. Do not treat it as a direct DSH integration: the README points to Terrain for the ACP statement involving DeepSeek Harness.

01What can it help you accomplish?
Turn a source-code repository into architecture documentation
C4-model documentation with context, container, component, and code-level diagrams
Developers, architects, and technical leads who need current architectural context
Bring local external documents into architecture analysis
Generated documentation informed by mounted PDF, Markdown, SQL, YAML/JSON, or text materials
Teams that need business context and architectural decisions reflected in generated documentation
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Rust 1.70 or later
- Cargo
Installation steps
- 01
Run `cargo install deepwiki-rs`.
- 02
Run `deepwiki-rs -p ./my-project -o ./docs` to generate documentation for a local project.

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
No direct DeepSeek Harness integration is documented for deepwiki-rs. The README says its successor, Terrain, can be read by DeepSeek Harness through ACP.
C4 architecture documentation
a source-code repository→architecture documentation and C4 diagrams
External knowledge integration
PDF, Markdown, SQL, YAML/JSON, or text documents→knowledge sources used to enrich generated documentation
The sync command processes and caches local documents.Database documentation
SQL projects and SQL files→database schema documentation with ERD diagrams
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Developers, architects, and technical leads who need current architectural context
- Teams that need business context and architectural decisions reflected in generated documentation
Not for
- The README does not document direct DeepSeek Harness installation, invocation, or configuration for deepwiki-rs. Its only DeepSeek Harness statement concerns ACP reading by Terrain, which the README presents as Litho's evolution.
- The README says ReAct Mode can auto-scan project files through tool calls; it documents `--disable-preset-tools` to turn that mode off.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes

MIT; the README presents Litho as a focused C4 document generator and says it has evolved into Terrain.
06Frequently asked questions
Is deepwiki-rs a native DeepSeek Harness plugin?
No direct DSH integration is documented. The README's DeepSeek Harness reference is about Terrain, presented as Litho's evolution, being readable through ACP.
Does installing deepwiki-rs configure it for DSH?
The README documents Rust, Cargo, `cargo install deepwiki-rs`, and direct CLI use. It does not document a DSH install, registration, or configuration step.
What can I generate for a repository worked on with DSH?
Litho documents C4 architecture documentation and diagrams from source-code analysis. Run its CLI separately; the README does not describe DSH invoking that command.
Can the tool scan project files automatically?
The README says ReAct Mode can auto-scan project files through tool calls and documents `--disable-preset-tools` to turn that mode off.
Should I use Litho or Terrain for an ACP-based DSH workflow?
The README says Litho has evolved into Terrain and associates the ACP readability claim with Terrain. It describes Litho itself as the fast, focused C4 documentation generator.
