DeepSeek released a research prototype for a proactive coding agent. It is not an official product and is not production-ready. The agent works within one GitHub repository and optionally Feishu. It opens work items, works in its own session, and responds with results like pull requests. A web panel shows pending human actions. The agent acts only when asked or when team rules allow it. It speaks only when someone must act or can use a result. Setup is guided by a coding agent following a provided script. Documentation covers philosophy, domain model, authorization, execution, prompts, panel, deployment, architecture and a cookbook. The code is MIT licensed.
