SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Running long tests, log analysis, and broad code exploration on expensive frontier models consumes large amounts of costly tokens. This Skill lets Claude Code offload bounded, token-heavy subtasks to cheaper DeepSeek worker agents while the main model keeps planning and synthesis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sidecar Task Delegation: Launch a Claude Code worker session with a bounded task, expected output, and scope constraints via a single shell command. - Flexible Provider Configuration: Pass an API key file and an Anthropic-compatible base URL to target DeepSeek-compatible providers directly, without an extra proxy layer. - Use Case: Ask Claude Code to hand a long CI log analysis or a slow test suite run to a DeepSeek sidecar, then collect the worker's short report and integrate it into the main answer. ## Quick Start Ask Claude Code to start a DeepSeek sidecar for the current project to analyze a CI log and report the root cause with evidence.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate a task to a DeepSeek sidecar in Claude Code?▼

Run the deepseek-sidecar script from the repository root with --cd pointing at the project and a prompt describing the task, expected output, and constraints. The worker session executes the bounded task and returns a short report.

How do I configure a DeepSeek API key for the sidecar?▼

Pass --api-key-file pointing to a key file together with --base-url set to an Anthropic-compatible endpoint. Alternatively, configure the provider through Claude Code's own settings or environment variables.

Does the Claude sidecar need the Codex Responses proxy?▼

No. This adapter explicitly does not use the Codex Responses proxy. If Claude Code supports the target DeepSeek-compatible provider directly, prefer Claude Code settings or environment variables over an extra proxy layer.

What tasks are suitable for DeepSeek sidecar workers?▼

Bounded, token-heavy tasks such as long test runs, log analysis, wide code exploration, independent reviews, and implementation attempts. The main model should keep planning, judgment, and synthesis of results.

When should I not use the Claude DeepSeek sidecar?▼

Avoid it for tasks requiring tight iterative judgment or deep cross-task context, since the worker only receives a bounded prompt. It is also only usable inside Claude Code, not other harnesses.
