harness-github

In day-to-day development, engineers constantly switch between the AI chat window and the terminal: glancing at a PR diff, triaging a backlog issue, diagnosing a failed Actions run, or applying review feedback to code. These lightweight GitHub interactions should not break the flow of AI-assisted coding. harness-github brings that workflow into DeepSeek Harness, letting you review PRs, triage issues, debug CI logs, process review comments, and prepare merges or releases—all within a single conversation, without ever leaving the current window.\n\nThe plugin registers 18 github_* tools spanning repository overviews, CRUD and commenting on PRs and issues, pinpointing failed Actions steps, search, and release management. Authentication follows a connector-first approach: it prefers the existing gh CLI session and transparently falls back to REST (anonymous or token-based) when gh is unavailable, requiring zero extra setup. On the safety side, every write operation—creating PRs, submitting reviews, merging, closing issues—triggers a human approval gate before execution. If approval is unavailable or the user declines, the call fails immediately with zero side effects. Tokens live only in the in-memory request cycle and are never written to config files or logs.\n\nBuilt for engineers who work with GitHub every day and want AI-assisted code review, issue management, and CI triage while retaining full control over any mutating action. The tool-plus-system-prompt design behaves identically across web, TUI, and headless profiles, with no dependency on a specific frontend form factor.
