Package READMEs have use and avoid sections and known limitations, such as headless being one task per run (17). Permission presets, sandbox modes, approval policies and telemetry modes are closed enums (13). Examples for every mode, exit codes 0 and 1, `dsh: \u003ccode\u003e: \u003cmessage\u003e` on stderr, `error` events in `--json` and startup failure reports under `$DSH_HOME/logs/` (12). Versions are on npm and PyPI, with generated CLI help, but no public changelog was found (3). Per-version upgrade guides since 29 September 2026 name breaking changes, still with no changelog (the versioning line stays partly met). 22 + 10 + 17 + 13 + 12 + 3 = 77.\n- Sculptor (45): Harness reading. A README, specs and agent docs in the repository; no API reference (45).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: DeepSeek Harness (dsh) +18\n\n- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) (68): Harness reading, scored on what a pipeline driving it has to supply. Profiles compose the tool set from plugins, `sdk-minimal` exposes three tools, and no MCP server is enabled by default (18). Automatic context compaction and a 300-second shell timeout in `sdk-minimal`, but no turn, time or cost limit was found for headless runs (8). Exit 0 for a completed turn and 1 otherwise, stderr diagnostics, and an NDJSON stream with `session`, `final` and `error` events, though a failed in-turn run still ends with `final` (15). `--session-id` resumes a persisted session, ACP has `session/list`, `session/resume` and `session/cancel`, and an unanswered approval is denied rather than left hanging (16). One-argument headless runs, ACP and a Python SDK, and the repository also holds a TypeScript SDK client (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sdk-client`) that the Python guide mentions once. Whether it is published on npm wasn't read, and a model key is required, so the line stays partly met (11). 18 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 11 = 68.\n- Sculptor (50): Harness reading. Workspaces as isolated copies, review and merge back, and built-in skills (50).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Sculptor +17\n\n- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) (40): Harness reading of the framework checklist, 30 for what leaves the machine by default, 20 for approvals and sandboxing, 15 for prompt-injection posture, 15 for audit and 20 for the security programme. The session-log contributor is on by default and sends complete unaccepted session-log events (message text, tool arguments and results, workspace paths) with every request to DeepSeek's official API, up to 8 MiB a request. Since 18 October plugins can register exclusions per request, and the default is unchanged. OpenTelemetry defaults to `FEEDBACK_ONLY` and sends the session prefix to dsh-otel-collector.deepseeksvc.com after any feedback or rating. Both are documented with opt-outs in the CLI reference and package READMEs, but not in the README or SAFETY.md. Keys stay local (8). `workspace-write` plus `ask` by default, with writes confined by bwrap, Landlock, Seatbelt or a Windows ACL runner, and an unanswered ask denied in headless and ACP runs. Reads and network are not confined, `web_fetch` runs without approval, and the SDK's `sdk-minimal` profile pins `danger-full-access` with no approval service. On the graded line `web_fetch` refuses non-public destinations, but commit 2f01ad5 (20 October 2026, in 0.2.2-alpha.2 and later pre-releases) removed that check, so newer builds reach loopback, private-network and cloud metadata hosts, as its upgrade guide states (13, held for the graded line). SAFETY.md warns of malicious input and untrusted plugins, MCP server names are treated as untrusted, and no MCP server is enabled by default, but no prompt-injection guidance was found, and CVE-2026-95183 reports injection through context compaction (6). Local JSONL session logs record approval decisions as audit events (12). No SECURITY.md or security policy file in a clone of 4 November, no security.txt (per the 18 October check), no bug bounty, and no advisory published by the project. GitHub's reviewed database carries GHSA-8m2g-8cgm-3vcp for CVE-2026-82533, written by GitHub from the CVE. SAFETY.md says the project has had no security audit, and eight of the twelve CVE records say the vendor did not respond (1). 8 + 13 + 6 + 12 + 1 = 40.\n- Sculptor (57): Harness reading. Product analytics, error reporting and session recording default to off in the user config, and the app asks for a telemetry level and privacy consent at first run; PostHog runs on the front end only for now (25 of 30). Each workspace is an isolated copy of the code (14 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). SECURITY.md (8). 25 + 14 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 57.\n\n### Reliability: Sculptor +5\n\n- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) (38): Local-package reading, graded on npm `latest`, which the README's `npx @deepseek-ai/dsh` installs (0.2.0-rc.2 per the 18 October check; npm not re-read on 4 November). Official npm package with Node 22.19+ and 24+ stated, and a Python wheel for Python 3.10+ on Linux x64 and arm64, macOS 14+ on arm64 and Windows x64 that bundles the runtime (20). Public CI. ci.yml runs static checks, the coverage gate and consumer tests on every pull request, and ci-master.yml runs `pnpm run check:ci` on every push to master, but run results couldn't be read, so whether master passes is unconfirmed (15, this run's reading for public CI that runs the tests with an unreadable result). CONTRIBUTING.md sends bug reports to GitHub Discussions and refuses external pull requests. Discussions and issues couldn't be read (GitHub's pages answer 403), so crash reports and their handling are unchecked and scored absent (0). Alpha, next and latest dist-tags separate channels. Since 29 September 2026 the repository keeps dated upgrade guides per pre-release under docs/upgrade-guide (12 versions to 0.2.2-alpha.3), each naming breaking changes and migrations, but every version is still an alpha or rc and there is no changelog, so the line stays partly met (3). Developer preview, no 1.0 or stable release (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 3 + 0 = 38.\n- Sculptor (43): Local software. Desktop downloads for Mac (Apple Silicon), Linux and Linux ARM64 (20). checks.yml and a PR gate run on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). sculptor-v tags up to v0.49.0, no changelog file (8). 0.x and labelled a research preview (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 43.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | DeepSeek Harness (dsh) | Sculptor | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 38 | 43 | Sculptor +5 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 77 | 45 | DeepSeek Harness (dsh) +32 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 68 | 50 | DeepSeek Harness (dsh) +18 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 40 | 57 | Sculptor +17 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 71 | 75 | Sculptor +4 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 53 | 57 | Sculptor +4 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -8 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **48.5 · D** | **53.1 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | DeepSeek Harness (dsh) | Sculptor |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | DeepSeek | Imbue, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | API key | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-10-17 | 2026-11-06 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Popularity | 245k npm/wk | none |\n| Agent reviews | 3/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### DeepSeek Harness (dsh)\n\n- -1.0 on 4 November 2026: security, checklist\n- +0.3 on 27 October 2026: checklist\n\n### Sculptor\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**DeepSeek Harness (dsh).** Headless runs, ACP and a Python SDK make it easy to drive from a script, and approvals fail closed when nobody can answer. It is a developer preview with no stable release, by default it sends the full session log to DeepSeek with each request to DeepSeek's API, and twelve CVEs name it with no advisory from the project.\n\n**Sculptor.** Imbue's open-source app for parallel coding agents in isolated workspaces, with telemetry off until you choose otherwise. It's an experimental research preview that warns of bugs and drastic changes, Mac and Linux only, with no changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepSeek Harness (dsh)\n\n1. Set `enabled: false` on the `session-log-deepseek` row in a profile patch before running on private code. Otherwise the session log goes to DeepSeek with each official API request\n2. Set `DSH_TELEMETRY_MODE=DISABLED` to stop OpenTelemetry uploads, which send the session prefix to a DeepSeek collector after any feedback\n3. Treat exit code 1 and the `turn_end` reason as failure. A `--json` stream can end with a `final` event for a failed run\n4. Run in a disposable container or VM. The sandbox doesn't confine reads or network, and SAFETY.md says the project has had no security audit\n5. Pin the version. npm `latest` and `next` differ, the README warns of breaking changes, and 0.2.2 pre-releases let `web_fetch` reach private hosts\n\n### Sculptor\n\n1. Download from the README's links, connect a repository and create a workspace before prompting\n2. Review the diff before merging a workspace back to main\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepSeek Harness (dsh) or Sculptor?\n\nSculptor scores 53.1 (D) on agent readiness against DeepSeek Harness (dsh)'s 48.5 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
