> DeepSeek TUI is a terminal coding agent for DeepSeek models. Install via npm/cargo/brew, run on your repo, and keep approval gates for edits.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

1. Install / run:
   ```bash
   npm install -g deepseek-tui
   ```
2. Start / smoke test:
   ```bash
   deepseek doctor && deepseek --model auto
   ```
3. Verify:
   - Point it at a tiny repo, request one safe change, and confirm the approval gate triggers before any file edits are applied.

## Intro

DeepSeek TUI is a terminal coding agent for DeepSeek models. Install via npm/cargo/brew, run on your repo, and keep approval gates for edits.

- **Best for:** Developers who want a local terminal coding agent with explicit approval gates and multiple install paths
- **Works with:** DeepSeek model providers + local workspaces; supports npm/cargo/brew/Docker installation paths (per README)
- **Setup time:** 10 minutes

## How to Use It Well

- Setup time ~10 minutes (npm install + `deepseek doctor`)
- Multiple install paths in README (npm/cargo/brew/direct/Docker) so teams can standardize
- GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks

Terminal agents are best when they’re predictable: keep a narrow scope (one repo, one task), require explicit approvals for edits, and use the built-in doctor/auth commands to prevent “mystery key” failures.

### FAQ

**Q: Is the npm package the runtime?**
A: The README states the npm package is an installer/wrapper for prebuilt Rust binaries.

**Q: How do I validate my credentials?**
A: Use `deepseek doctor` and `deepseek auth status` to confirm which key source is active.

**Q: How do I keep it safe?**
A: Use approval gates, run in a limited workspace mount, and start with read-only tasks before enabling write actions.

## 快速使用

1. 安装 / 运行：
   ```bash
   npm install -g deepseek-tui
   ```
2. 启动 / 冒烟测试：
   ```bash
   deepseek doctor && deepseek --model auto
   ```
3. 验证：
   - Point it at a tiny repo, request one safe change, and confirm the approval gate triggers before any file edits are applied.

## 简介

DeepSeek TUI 是 DeepSeek 模型的终端 coding agent：支持 npm/cargo/brew 等安装，流式输出推理块并带编辑审批门。适合在本地仓库进行结对开发，同时保持对文件改动的可控性。

- **适合谁：** 希望用本地终端 coding agent，并通过审批门控制改动、且有多种安装方式的开发者
- **可搭配：** DeepSeek 模型提供方 + 本地工作区；README 提供 npm/cargo/brew/Docker 等安装路径
- **准备时间：** 10 分钟

## 实战建议

- 上手约 10 分钟（npm 安装 + `deepseek doctor`）
- README 提供多种安装路径（npm/cargo/brew/直下/Docker），便于团队标准化
- GitHub stars + forks（已核验）：见「来源与感谢」

终端 agent 最怕不可控。建议缩小范围（一个仓库、一个任务）、保留对改动的明确审批，并用内置的 doctor/auth 命令避免“神秘 key”导致的失败与漂移。

### FAQ

**npm 包就是运行时吗？**
A: README 说明 npm 包主要是安装器/封装，用于下载预编译的 Rust 二进制。

**怎么确认鉴权配置没问题？**
A: 用 `deepseek doctor` 和 `deepseek auth status` 看当前生效的 key 来源。

**怎么更安全地用？**
A: 保留审批门、限制工作区挂载范围，先从只读类任务开始再逐步开放写操作。
