DeepSeek has released dsh-superagent, an MIT-licensed prototype that routes authorized requests into separate coding sessions. DeepSeek reports faster task completion in simulations, but the tests used synthetic messages and did not measure real-world coding quality.

The prototype uses a Router to assign work and isolated Worker sessions to carry out each task, or Ticket.
In DeepSeek’s simulations, the system’s 95th-percentile completion time was 15.7 minutes, compared with 29.5 minutes for a single-session baseline.
The prototype can act on group-chat bug reports without a direct tag, while proactive acceptance defaults to observe mode; the reported tests did not assess real coding quality.

Key facts

License and version: MIT-licensed prototype, version 0.1.0.
Architecture: A Router dispatches work to isolated Worker sessions.
Reported simulated p95: 15.7 minutes for the prototype; 29.5 minutes for the single-session baseline.
Authorization default: Observe mode records what the agent would accept without acting on it.
Test limitation: Tests used simulated messages and tools; real coding quality was not measured.
