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)

Stage	What happens	Output
1. Idea validation	Research market / competitors / feasibility	Validation conclusion
2. Product definition & requirements	Positioning + concrete requirements with acceptance criteria	Product definition + PRD
3. Technical design	Technical plan and task breakdown	Tech design + task list
4. Development & quality	Implement + test + security audit	Code + audit report
5. Release & deploy	Prepare distributable artifacts (GitHub standards) + go live	README / version / Release / deploy check
6. Promotion & cold start	Launch kit (video script / article / channels)	Promo materials
7. Operations & growth	Metrics dashboard, feedback channels, growth actions	Operations plan
8. Iteration & maintenance	Feedback pool, roadmap, then loop to the next round	Roadmap

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:

Method	What you get	Command
Full mode (recommended)	Preset + persona + tools + the 10 skills (8 stage + 2 authoring)	./install.sh
Skill pack only	Just the 8 stage skills, available to any session of a profile	dsh plugin --profile <p> add dsh-virtual-product-team

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.
