About

deepseek-engineer is a compact Python CLI that turns DeepSeek's reasoning models into a coding assistant: the model calls read_file, create_file, and edit_file functions natively, with the distinctive trait that DeepSeek-Reasoner's chain-of-thought streams visibly in the terminal while tool calls execute. Context is supplied either automatically (the assistant reads files it references) or manually via an /add command, and safety comes from path normalization, traversal protection, file-size limits, and binary detection. The project drew around 2,000 stars as a reference for wiring R1-style reasoning models to file tools but stopped receiving commits, with 26 commits total and a handful of open issues. It suits users studying function-calling agent design more than teams needing a maintained tool.
