Super-agent (DeepSeek Harness prototype)
DeepSeek's MIT-licensed prototype agent that watches a GitHub repo and Feishu chats and answers requests with pull requests.
Overview
Super-agent is an open-source coding-agent prototype DeepSeek announced in a WeChat post on October 31, 2026. It watches a team's GitHub repository and optional Feishu (Lark) group chats, starts fixes without a prompt per task, and replies in the original conversation with work such as a pull request when an approved member asks. It is a bundle for DeepSeek Harness: a persistent Router holds shared context, separate Worker sessions run tasks in parallel, a Watchdog detects failures and stalled loops, and a local web panel shows items needing a human decision. DeepSeek says it is not an official product, not production-ready and differs from its internal version. It needs a dedicated GitHub account, Node.js 22.19+ and GitHub CLI 2.48+, supports github.com only, and sessions run with the operator's full OS-user access.
This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
