Deepseek Stack
Deepseek Stack is a collection of agent skills that helps DeepSeek models plan, verify, and ship code reliably.
Deepseek Stack provides a set of skills designed to make DeepSeek models like V4.1 Flash and V4 Pro work like higher-end models. It addresses common failure modes in cheap models, such as skipped planning, unverified fixes, repetitive errors, and context drift. Each skill uses a short loop, a hard stop condition, and a requirement for real evidence. It works in any environment that reads SKILL.md files. The project is open source under the MIT license and includes categories for core working styles, iterative loops, build tasks, shipping workflows, and code understanding.
