# deepseek-stack

Helps DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and V4 Pro plan, check their work and stop at a set point, so a cheaper model behaves more like a costly one. It suits developers using coding agents that read SKILL.md files.

Made by aicodeking on GitHub. These notes are Mindket's, written from its README; the project's own files and license are in its repository.

## About

What it is: This kit is a set of agent skills that help DeepSeek models, V4.1 Flash and V4 Pro, behave like a far costlier model. Cheaper models tend to fail in four ways. They skip planning, declare a fix done before testing it, keep retrying a broken idea, and wander off course during long runs.

Each skill targets one of those gaps. It pairs a brief loop with a firm stopping rule and a requirement to show proof.

Who it suits: Developers who run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash or V4 Pro inside a coding agent and want steadier results.

```table
Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Software development | Developers using DeepSeek models in a coding agent | Install the skills so the agent plans before it acts | A developer on Cline with DeepSeek V4 Pro
Cost-conscious teams | Teams choosing cheaper models | Close the gaps cheap models usually show | A team trying a cheaper model for coding tasks
Long tasks | Developers running long agent sessions | Use stop conditions to limit retries and drift | A developer who has watched an agent repeat a failed idea
```

Anyone who does not use DeepSeek models can skip it, since the kit is built for them.

Where to use it: The kit works in any agent that reads SKILL.md files.

- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cline
- OpenCode
- PandaCode and other agents that read SKILL.md files

```table
Use case | Who | What they get back
Planning before coding | A developer using a cheaper model | An agent that makes a plan before it acts
Checking fixes | A developer reviewing agent output | A fix backed by real evidence that it works
Breaking retry loops | A developer with a stuck agent | A hard stop condition that ends repeated retries
Keeping long runs on track | A developer with long tasks | An agent less likely to drift off course
```

How to set it up: You need one of the agents above, a DeepSeek model, and Node so that npx works.

- Claude Code, Codex, Cline, OpenCode, PandaCode or another agent that reads SKILL.md files
- A DeepSeek model such as V4.1 Flash or V4 Pro
- Node, which provides npx

1. Check that Node is installed.
2. Run the install command below.
3. Open the README for the details of each skill.

```sh
npx skills add aicodeking/deepseek-stack
```

The kit does not run on its own, so you start each task through your agent.

How to use it: Use your agent with a DeepSeek model as you normally do. The skills shape how the model works, so it plans first, shows evidence and stops at its limit. The README describes each skill in detail.

Example: You ask your agent to fix a failing build. With the skills in place, it plans the fix, runs it and shows evidence that the build passes. If an idea keeps failing, it stops at the hard condition instead of retrying forever.

For newcomers and experts: If you use a cheaper model and have seen it declare success too soon, this kit is aimed at that. Install it, give your agent one small task, and watch whether it plans first and shows proof.

If you know how coding agents are built, each skill is a short loop with a hard stop and an evidence demand. They target four named failures: skipped planning, unverified fixes, endless retries and drift. Because they live in SKILL.md files, any agent that reads those files can use them.

```flow
Plan the work before acting
Work in a short loop
Verify with real evidence
Stop at the hard condition
Ship the result
```
