# Coding Agent powered by DeepSeek

Plan, edit, test, and review code from your terminal. Local sessions, sandboxed tools, and readable token costs.

Install from npm

Node.js 22.19+ and Git

npm install -g @thinkany/dscodeThen run in any repository `dscode -C .`

## What is DScode?

DScode is an open source coding agent built around DeepSeek for working inside real repositories.

**DeepSeek-native runtime** Native Responses replay, reasoning controls, free-form patches, and optional web search. No compatibility shim.

**Cost-aware by design** Track context, cache hits, tokens, reasoning, and estimated spend from one command.

**Parallel agents** Delegate exploration, implementation, review, and tests across up to four concurrent agents.

**Local control** Keep sessions as local JSONL. Commands run in an OS sandbox with networking blocked by default.

**Sandboxed commands** Tools run in the OS sandbox with networking blocked by default. Any escalation stays explicit.

**Your workflow, preserved** Read AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, use Agent Skills and MCP, and fit the tools your repository already uses.

**Open source, MIT licensed** Self-contained and transparent. Extend the runtime without vendor lock-in or hidden telemetry.
