DeepSeek open-sources Super-Agent, a coding agent that watches team chats for work

Helpnetsecurity •Anamarija Pogorelec • November 2, 2026

Deepseek released a research prototype of dsh-superagent, a coding agent that does work on a GitHub repository for you.

The agent gets to work in two situations: an allowed user asks for something, or a rule your team wrote covers it. You can also open up a chat or GitHub scope, and then anyone in it can request work just by mentioning the agent. A message, or quoted document can’t expand what the agent is allowed to do, since the host is the one enforcing the lists and rules.

A prompt called Delivery requirements controls auto-merge, and the host adds no merge logic of its own. By default the agent doesn’t turn on auto-merge under its own account, because GitHub credits the merge to whoever enabled it. Unless the prompt names another account for merging, people merge.

dsh-superagent is available for free on GitHub .
