⚡ dsh-agent-conductor

Let your DeepSeek Harness agent dispatch tasks to 11 external agent CLIs — Codex, Claude Code, TraeCode, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, Qwen, Copilot, WorkBuddy, Grok — headlessly, and bring results back into the conversation.

DeepSeek Harness is a great reasoning engine — but sometimes the job is better done by another coding agent: a Codex translation, a Claude Code investigation, a Cursor refactor. This plugin lets your DSH agent recognize when to delegate (by skill-description matching), dispatch a self-contained task to one of 11 external agent CLIs in headless mode, and bring the stdout result back as the answer.

Inspired by Multica — the "agent squad" idea as a zero-install DSH skill.

✨ What you get

Capability	What it does	Cost
🧠 Auto-triggered dispatch	Say "have Codex translate this README" — the model matches the skill, runs the dispatch script, and answers from the result	Free (uses the target CLI's quota)
🔧 `conductor_dispatch` tool (optional bundle)	The same registry as a first-class DSH tool, installed into a profile with one command	Free
👥 11 agent CLIs	Codex, Claude Code, TraeCode, OpenCode, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, Qwen, Copilot, WorkBuddy, Grok	Their login quotas
🔒 Privacy	Task text goes only to the CLI's own provider; keys stay local	—

🧭 Why a Skill (and not just a plugin)

	profile plugin / bundle	dynamic plugin	Skill (this repo)
Install	write profile + restart	define in-session	copy a folder
Trigger	manual	model calls a tool	description matching, model auto-recognizes
Risk	touches the host	session-scoped, gone on restart	read-only script, host-agnostic
Result	tool result	tool result	stdout directly becomes the answer

One SKILL.md + a ~90-line zero-dependency dispatch.py (Python stdlib only).

⚡ Quick start (Skill)

Copy skills/conductor/ to any skill root (project-level .dsh/skills/ or global ~/.dsh/skills/):

mkdir -p .dsh/skills/conductor
cp -R skills/conductor/. .dsh/skills/conductor/

No restart needed — from the next message on, just say:

"派 codex 把这份 README 翻译成繁体中文" (have Codex translate this README)
"让 Claude Code 查一下这个报错的成因" (ask Claude Code to investigate this error)
"用 Codex 独立实现一个 XXX" (have Codex implement XXX independently)

The agent auto-recognizes the need (SKILL.md description matching) → runs dispatch.py → returns the result.

🛠️ Prereqs: install the CLIs you want to dispatch to

# Codex (symlink to PATH when you already have codex-cli)
ln -s ~/.codex/plugins/.plugin-appserver/codex ~/.local/bin/codex
# Claude Code / OpenCode
npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm i -g opencode-ai
# TraeCode CLI: https://docs.trae.cn/cli_command-line-parameters

Codex requires a trusted git repo as its working directory: write CONDUCTOR_CWD=/path/to/git/repo into ~/.dsh/secrets/media-tools.env (or export it). The skill script and the bundle tool both honor it, falling back to the current working directory.
To let the dispatched agent write files: add sandbox_mode = "workspace-write" to Codex's ~/.codex/config.toml.
Dispatching consumes the target CLI's login quota.

✅ Verified vs ⏳ pending

CLI	Headless command	Status
Codex	`codex exec "{task}"`	✅ field-tested (translation task delivered)
Claude Code	`claude -p "{task}" --output-format text`	✅ per official docs
TraeCode	`traecli exec "{task}"`	✅ per official docs
OpenCode	`opencode run "{task}"`	✅ per official docs
Gemini / Cursor / Kimi / Qwen / Copilot / WorkBuddy / Grok	see the `dispatch.py` registry	⏳ command shape pending field test

📦 Optional: bundle install (host-only tool)

This repo is also a host-only dsh bundle (declares dsh.bundle, zero client code — the Web UI is untouched). One command installs the conductor_dispatch tool into a profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:MJorgin/dsh-agent-conductor

The tool and the skill share the same CLI registry (index.js ⇄ dispatch.py — keep them in sync when adding CLIs);
No client half, so the Web UI is never affected (the early panel-carrying client version was removed — see git log);
Panels / task-board recycling are on the roadmap.

📂 Repo layout

index.js                      # bundle host half: conductor_dispatch tool (host-only)
cordis.patch.yml              # bundle layer (one row, no client)
skills/conductor/SKILL.md      # skill definition: trigger description + dispatch rules + privacy
skills/conductor/scripts/dispatch.py  # dispatch engine (Python stdlib, zero deps)
conductor-dynamic.js           # alternative: dynamic-plugin edition (cordis_define route)

🗺️ Roadmap

Panel UI (optional, dynamic-plugin client half)
Task-board recycling: dispatch results written back to dsh-task-board cards
Squad orchestration: one task fanned out to several agents and merged (Multica squads shape)

🔑 Keys & privacy

Keys are never stored in this repo. The skill script reads env vars, then ~/.dsh/secrets/media-tools.env (same convention as dsh-media-skills).
Task text is sent to the target CLI's provider — never put secrets or internal data into a task.
Results belong to the target CLI's terms of service; mark deliverables as "done by ".
