Issues hold only work the maintainers accepted, and the Discussions bug category lists reports from the past two weeks of session-worker crashes, truncated RPC output and provider hangs, whose reply state we did not read (15).

The `superagent` profile is created from DSH's Web template, and DSH documents that shipped profiles mount `session-log-deepseek`, enabled by default, which adds the session log to each official DeepSeek API request, up to 8 MiB. dsh-superagent's docs don't mention it, and its Sessions read issue, pull request and chat text and the repository. Setup and worker shells drop variables named KEY, PASSWORD, SECRET or TOKEN, and `GH_TOKEN` and `GITHUB_TOKEN` are removed from git (8). Both presets run `danger-full-access` without approval as the operator's OS user. docs/006 says the account wrappers don't isolate the process, a worker can run programs by path and read the operator's home directory, and recommends a dedicated OS account. The gate, `observe` default, blocked commands and no auto-merge as the agent account narrow what it does, not what it can do (6). docs/002 says messages, comments and quoted documents are inputs to a decision and can't change allowed lists, rules or Mandates, bots can never make explicit requests, and prompt edits don't change the gate. Workers with full access still read untrusted Thread text, and no further guidance on that was found (7). Decisions are recorded with reasons, Ticket details show the Trigger, Decision, scope and Policy version, the host records the prompt revisions each Session used, and every GitHub message starts with an automated-agent line by default (12).

Append-only JSONL session files, a `prime-agent incident` timeline command and the local telemetry mirror (12).

Both do agent harnesses.\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek): grade E, 42.1/100, rank #1108 of 1251.

Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/prime-agent.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/prime-agent.json\n- Best agent harnesses and coding agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- All 955 harnesses comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-harnesses/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (E)\n\nGood for: Teams on github.com that want a DeepSeek Harness agent to turn allowed people's issue requests into pull requests, run on an isolated machine or OS account.\n\nAhead on:\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 61 against 42\n\nWatch for: Executor and main Sessions run with `danger-full-access` as the operator's OS user, and the docs say a worker can read the operator's home directory\n\n### Prime Agent (C)\n\nGood for: Long-running research and coding work where one model drives subagents, schedules and goals from code, and where the owner can isolate the machine.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 65 against 15\n- Agent ergonomics, 73 against 67\n- Security \u0026 auth, 50 against 33\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 60 against 40\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 79 against 34\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 67 against 52\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- No key needed to call it\n\nWatch for: No approval prompts and no sandbox. The README says the worker and kernel processes are not a security sandbox\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Reliability: Prime Agent +50\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (15): Local-package reading, since it runs as a DSH bundle on the operator's machine. Not published to npm (`private: true` in package.json, and the registry has no `dsh-superagent`). It installs from a git clone with `pnpm install \u0026\u0026 pnpm build` on top of `@deepseek-ai/dsh@0.2.1-rc.3`, with Node 22.19+ or 24+, git 2.32+, Python 3.8+, tmux and gh 2.48+ stated, so half credit (10). A vitest suite of about 25 spec files is listed in docs/007, and `pnpm check` runs the typecheck, tests and build. Two spec files were read on raw.githubusercontent.com. No CI workflow was found at five common paths under .github/workflows, and the directory couldn't be listed (5). Open issues couldn't be read, because github.com and api.github.com weren't reachable from our network. Unchecked, so scored absent (0). Version 0.1.0 with no tag, release or changelog found, so no semver record (0). A research prototype, not stable (0).\n- Prime Agent (65): Read with the local-software lines. The vendor's installer fetches checksummed binaries for macOS and Linux on x64 and arm64, with an npm install needing Node.js 20.6 or later as the fallback, but the stable pointer is the TypeScript build while the Rust code on main ships only on the nightly channel, and Windows builds are beta only (17). A public CI workflow runs fmt, clippy with warnings as errors, sharded workspace tests and cargo-deny, and its badge read passing on 8 October 2026 (25). 20 open issues and 91 open pull requests on 8 October. Issues hold only work the maintainers accepted, and the Discussions bug category lists reports from the past two weeks of session-worker crashes, truncated RPC output and provider hangs, whose reply state we did not read (15). Stable releases carry written notes and changes are recorded as fragments in `.changes`, including the removal of the `--tools` flags, but there is no changelog file, the nightly notes are boilerplate and the project is at 0.x (8). Version 0.9.8, and the Rust build is a beta (0).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Prime Agent +45\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (34): Published on 31 October 2026, within 30 days, read as the last published change since no tag or release was found (30). One publication, so not three releases in 90 days (0). Issues, pull requests and Discussions couldn't be read, and the README frames the code as a reference prototype adapted from an internal version (0). No official SDK or registry entry (0). Exact dependency pins and a lockfile, but no CI workflow found, and the docs pin DSH 0.2.1-rc.3 (23 October 2026) while npm `latest` is 0.2.1-rc.5 (29 October 2026) (4).\n- Prime Agent (79): Nightly v0.9.9-beta.55 on 7 October 2026 and stable v0.9.8 on 29 September 2026 (30). At least 12 stable tags since 20 August 2026 and 55 nightly betas since 30 September (20). The main branch had at least 200 commits between 22 September and 8 October, and Discussions had new threads daily in October, but issues from unapproved contributors and unsolicited pull requests are closed automatically and we could not read reply times (14). Binaries for five targets from one release workflow and Homebrew definitions in the repository. No SDK and no registry package found (8). A pinned toolchain, a committed lockfile, cargo-deny with two triaged advisory exceptions reviewed on 17 September 2026, and CI passing. An open issue (#3292) reports npm audit findings for the 0.9.8 install, which we did not verify (7).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Prime Agent +20\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (40): Self-hosted rule, as for the other open-source harnesses. No payment protocol (0). Free under MIT with nothing to buy (20). No card for the software (20). An agent can't get started alone, because the setup needs a person to create a dedicated GitHub user account, accept the repository invitation and run `auth login` for the wrappers, which SETUP.md lists as operator steps. 0, as the other harnesses that need an account were read (0). The model provider is a separate purchase.\n- Prime Agent (60): Self-hosted rule. No payment protocol (0). Free and MIT-licensed with nothing to buy, so 20, 20 and 20 on the last three lines. The model provider is paid separately.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) +19\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (61): Framework reading, as for deepseek-harness. No OpenAPI or JSON Schema is published. docs/006 documents the Management API's routes, fields, block shapes and refusals in tables, and the code validates settings with zod (12). Markdown docs in the repository, readable raw, and a SETUP.md written for a coding agent. No llms.txt (5). Nine numbered documents read in order, each stating purpose, limits and what not to do, such as never rerunning the profile-creation command for an upgrade (17). Closed sets for accept mode (`off`, `observe`, `auto`), admission cells, Source states, health states and `listen` (12). A worked curl example, refusals as 400, 404, 409 and 500 with `issues`, `setup` or `code`, a troubleshooting table and status exit codes 0 to 3 (13). package.json says 0.1.0 and pins an `engines.dsh` range, but no changelog or tags were found (2).\n- Prime Agent (42): Harness reading of the framework line. `--mode json` emits a session event stream and `rpc` and `acp` modes exist, but we found no published schema or reference for them outside the source (10). docs.primeintellect.ai serves an llms.txt that has no Prime Agent page (0). The README states what the agent does, how it differs and that it is not a sandbox, and the bundled skills say when to use each function (10). CLI values are validated with messages that list the valid choices, and MCP tool schemas are read live from the server (7). The README gives the install line and seven commands, and the MCP skill documents its error types, but there is no headless or configuration guide (5). Versioned releases with notes for stable versions, none of substance for nightlies (10).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Prime Agent +17\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (33): 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 `superagent` profile is created from DSH's Web template, and DSH documents that shipped profiles mount `session-log-deepseek`, enabled by default, which adds the session log to each official DeepSeek API request, up to 8 MiB. dsh-superagent's docs don't mention it, and its Sessions read issue, pull request and chat text and the repository. Setup and worker shells drop variables named KEY, PASSWORD, SECRET or TOKEN, and `GH_TOKEN` and `GITHUB_TOKEN` are removed from git (8). Both presets run `danger-full-access` without approval as the operator's OS user. docs/006 says the account wrappers don't isolate the process, a worker can run programs by path and read the operator's home directory, and recommends a dedicated OS account. The gate, `observe` default, blocked commands and no auto-merge as the agent account narrow what it does, not what it can do (6). docs/002 says messages, comments and quoted documents are inputs to a decision and can't change allowed lists, rules or Mandates, bots can never make explicit requests, and prompt edits don't change the gate. Workers with full access still read untrusted Thread text, and no further guidance on that was found (7). Decisions are recorded with reasons, Ticket details show the Trigger, Decision, scope and Policy version, the host records the prompt revisions each Session used, and every GitHub message starts with an automated-agent line by default (12). No SECURITY.md (404 at the root and in .github), no security.txt on www.deepseek.com (404), no bug bounty or advisory found. NVD has no record for the prototype. The CVEs against DSH itself are on the deepseek-harness listing (0).\n- Prime Agent (50): Harness reading of the framework checklist, as used for the other harnesses. 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. Usage telemetry is on by default. It is pseudonymous, limited to primitive values with no prompts, tool content or file paths per the source, disclosed on first run and mirrored to a local `telemetry.jsonl` (18). No approval prompts were found and there is no sandbox, which the README states. MCP tools can be limited with `enabledTools` and `disabledTools`, and the agent is told to recommend a connection, not make one (4). The README tells users to work only with trusted repositories, instructions and skills. No detection or mitigation found (5). Append-only JSONL session files, a `prime-agent incident` timeline command and the local telemetry mirror (12). The vendor's security policy has a reporting address, safe harbour, response times and discretionary rewards, scoped to its website and API. The repository has no SECURITY.md and no published advisories, CONTRIBUTING.md says to report privately without naming an address, and security.txt returned 404. cargo-deny runs in CI (11).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Prime Agent +15\n\n- dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) (52): MIT, Copyright (c) 2026 DeepSeek Harness Team (30). The prototype has no data statement of its own. DeepSeek Harness's privacy policy (last updated 20 September 2026) names Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., says session logs are collected with official model services and may be used to train models with a right to opt out, and says custom model services aren't stored server-side. It agrees with DSH's session-log README, but neither is referred to from the prototype (12). No deprecation policy. The README says the published code differs from DeepSeek's internal version, and docs/006 warns that database migrations are one-way (3). Telemetry and the session-log upload are disclosed with opt-outs in DSH's own reference pages, not in this repository (6).\n- Prime Agent (67): MIT in the LICENSE file and Cargo.toml, with a notice that the code is a port of a TypeScript product originally copyright Mario Zechner (30). The first-run notice and the telemetry crate README say what is sent and what is excluded, and name the endpoint and PostHog, but the vendor privacy policy is dated 23 February 2024, does not describe agent telemetry and gives no retention period for it (12). No deprecation policy found. Removed flags are recorded in change fragments (5). Telemetry is disclosed with a setting, a command and two environment variables to turn it off (20).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) | Prime Agent | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 15 | 65 | Prime Agent +50 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 61 | 42 | dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) +19 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 73 | Prime Agent +6 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 33 | 50 | Prime Agent +17 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 60 | Prime Agent +20 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 34 | 79 | Prime Agent +45 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 67 | Prime Agent +15 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **42.1 · E** | **60.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) | Prime Agent |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | DeepSeek | Prime Intellect |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | Token | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-10-31 | 2026-10-07 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no date given |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-09-20 | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | not read yet | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not read yet | yes |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not read yet | yes |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not read yet | yes |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not read yet | yes |\n| Popularity | none | 22k stars |\n| Agent reviews | none | 2.8/5 (4) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### dsh-superagent (DeepSeek)\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Prime Agent\n\n- +0.2 on 28 October 2026: new evidence\n- no change on 27 October 2026: checklist\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**dsh-superagent (DeepSeek).** The authorization design is careful, with allowed lists, Mandates and a Policy enforced in code, proactive work only recorded by default and auto-merge off.

Run it under a dedicated OS account holding only the agent's credentials. Executors run commands without approval and can read the operator's home directory\n2. Set `enabled: false` on the `session-log-deepseek` row of the `superagent` profile before using DeepSeek's official API on private code\n3. Keep the accept mode at `observe` and the allowed list short until the recorded Decisions look right\n4. Wait for `scripts/dsh-superagent status` to stop exiting 1 after any save that answers `restarting: true` before the next request\n5. Send `x-orchestrator-request: 1` and a loopback Host to the Management API, and send `revision` with each PUT, since a stale one gets 409\n\n### Prime Agent\n\n1. Run it in a disposable clone, container or VM. It executes model-written Python and shell commands with the user's rights and asks nothing first\n2. Set `PRIME_AGENT_TELEMETRY=0` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` before the first run if usage metrics must not leave the machine\n3. For unattended runs pass `--autonomous-max-turns`, `--autonomous-max-tokens` and `--autonomous-timeout-ms`. Reaching a limit does not mean the task succeeded\n4. Headless use is `-p` with `--mode json` per the argument parser. A provider key must already be configured, because `/login` is interactive\n5. The `-t/--tools`, `-nt/--no-tools` and `-nbt/--no-builtin-tools` flags were removed and now fail as unknown options\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) or Prime Agent?\n\nPrime Agent scores 60.7 (C) on agent readiness against dsh-superagent (DeepSeek)'s 42.1 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Are dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) and Prime Agent open source?\n\nYes. dsh-superagent (DeepSeek) is open source (MIT).
