Product Team Mode

Turn DeepSeek Harness into your virtual product development team. Say “I have an idea” and the AI walks you through the full pipeline — Product Manager → Engineer → QA → Release Engineer — from idea to shippable product. You only talk and make decisions. No technical knowledge required.

What it is

Product Team Mode is a conversation mode (agent preset) for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). Inside this mode:

• You say: “I have an idea, I want to build XX”
• The AI automatically starts the pipeline: it interviews you like a product manager to clarify the idea → writes a requirements document for your review → designs the technical plan → implements it → runs QA and security audit → prepares release materials
• Each stage finishes with a report to you; you approve before it moves to the next stage (stage-gate control)

From start to finish, you never write code, never learn the process, and never need to remember technical jargon.

The eight stages (all 12 phases covered)

Installation

Prerequisites: DeepSeek Harness installed (dsh available in PATH).

git clone https://github.com/songoao25/dsh-virtual-product-team.git
cd dsh-virtual-product-team
./install.sh

Then start a new conversation, pick Product Team Mode in the mode picker, and simply say: “I have an idea…”.

Note: DSH only allows switching modes in a blank conversation, so start a new one first.

Uninstall

cd dsh-virtual-product-team
./uninstall.sh

After uninstalling, new conversations return to the default mode. No leftovers, other modes are untouched.

Install as a skill pack (optional)

Since v1.2.0 the repo also declares a DSH bundle, so you can install it as a skill pack on a profile:

dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add dsh-virtual-product-team

This gives every session of that profile on-demand access to the 8 pipeline skills (idea validation → … → iteration), with no preset.

There are two ways to get the skills — pick whichever fits:

The two share the same skill content, so you only need one. Full mode is recommended: one install covers everything the mode offers. (The bundle installs only the skill layer — the preset, persona, and tools still come from ./install.sh.)

FAQ

Q: Is it a plugin? A: It is primarily a conversation mode (preset). Since v1.2.0 it is also shipped as a DSH bundle so the 8 pipeline skills can be installed as a skill pack per profile; this is complementary, the full mode still installs with ./install.sh.

Q: Do I need to know tech? A: No. The AI makes all technical decisions. You just answer questions and approve.

Q: Does it affect my existing conversations/modes? A: No. It’s just one additional mode. Standard, Creator, and other modes remain unchanged.

Q: What are the v1 limitations? A: Conversation-only, no visual progress panel. For GitHub publishing, the release stage asks you which local AI assistant to use and then handles the commit/tag/Release with it.

Q: Can it develop DSH modes/plugins (like Creator mode)? A: Yes, since v1.1.0. The mode ships the same self-modification toolset and the two official Cordis authoring skills as Creator mode, so your product team can build new DSH modes and plugins too. That toolset carries shell-level trust and is only used when you explicitly ask for a DSH-specific product.
