dsh-stage-gate

Complex multi-stage tasks often suffer from a lack of clear acceptance criteria, causing agents to lose their way mid-process. The dsh-stage-gate plugin for DeepSeek Harness is designed to address this governance challenge. It provides a structured decision layer for agents, using defined "stage gates" to control the rhythm of workflow progression. Users can create acceptance checklists for each stage and use the gate_check tool to submit evidence for verification. Once all conditions are met, the system provides a clear PASS conclusion; otherwise, it triggers a BLOCK. This mechanism ensures that when agents execute complex tasks, they not only produce results but also work within a quality-standardized workflow. The plugin's core strength lies in its flexible in-memory state management and its suite of tools. By registering tools like gate_open and gate_check, it transforms abstract process control into concrete, model-callable instructions, enabling large language models to autonomously manage different stages of a task. Whether building complex R&D workflows or managing automated pipelines that require step-by-step validation, this toolkit offers robust support. It is particularly suitable for scenarios that demand strict quality control or the confirmation of stage milestones, helping teams maintain control over their automated processes.
