The coding agent powered by DeepSeek
DSCode is a local-first, open-source coding agent designed around DeepSeek V4 Flash — with local sessions, safe patching, parallel agents, OS sandboxing, and transparent cost reporting.

Built for DeepSeek, by design
Everything you need from a coding agent — opinionated around one goal: making DeepSeek V4 Flash effective, inspectable, and economical.
DeepSeek-native runtime
Stateless Responses replay, reasoning effort, native free-form apply_patch, and optional server-side Web Search — no OpenAI compatibility hacks.
Cost-aware by design
DeepSeek's 1M context and disk prefix cache are reflected in the runtime. /status reports context, cache hits, tokens, reasoning, and estimated cost.
Parallel agents
Run explorer, implementer, reviewer, and tester roles with up to four tasks in parallel. Implementers work in isolated Git worktrees.
Local control
Sessions are local tree-shaped JSONL. Commands run in an OS sandbox with network blocked by default; API keys never leak to child processes.
Your workflow, preserved
Understands AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, with Agent Skills, MCP, hooks, project trust, background jobs, and a VS Code entry point.
Open source, MIT licensed
Free forever. Self-contained, transparent, and yours to extend — no vendor lock-in, no telemetry you don't control.
Up and running in under a minute
Three commands from a fresh terminal. Node.js 22.19+ and Git are all you need.
