Workflow plugins for DeepSeek Harness
Chain steps, schedule runs and automate repeat work.
Workflow plugins run the agent through several steps without you prompting each one. Typical forms are a fixed pipeline, a scheduled job that runs at set times, and a trigger that starts work when a file changes or a message arrives. They suit tasks you already do the same way every time.

How to choose
The question to ask is what happens when a step fails at 3 a.m. with nobody watching. Look for run logs, a retry or stop policy, and some limit on how long or how much a single run can spend. Scheduled work needs a process that stays running, so check that the plugin fits a headless setup if that is where you plan to host it. Workflows you can read and edit as plain files are easier to review than ones built only through a UI.

Questions and answers
Do scheduled workflows run when my computer is off?
No. Something has to be running to fire the schedule. For jobs that must run on time, host the harness on a machine that stays on, and check how the plugin handles runs it missed.
How do I stop an automated run from spending too much?
Set limits where the plugin allows them: a maximum number of steps, a time limit, or a spending cap at your model provider. Test a new workflow by hand a few times before putting it on a schedule.
