Question 1

How does Flash-Agents protect my repository from worker mistakes?

Accepted Answer

Every writing job runs in a disposable copy-on-write clone of the repository. Workers can only produce a git patch; nothing touches your working tree until you or Claude explicitly applies the accepted changes.

Question 2

Which models do the workers use?

Accepted Answer

The plugin uses DeepSeek V4.1 Flash via the DeepSeek Harness runtime, which is optimized for cost-effective reading and typing on bounded coding tasks.

Question 3

Does Claude still review the work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Claude Code remains the orchestrator: it frames the task, slices it, reviews the resulting diff, runs tests, and applies only what it accepts.

Question 4

How do I install Flash-Agents?

Accepted Answer

You need Claude Code, Node 20+, and Ollama. Install the worker runtime with 'npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh', then install the plugin into Claude Code using the provided install script and configuration.

Question 5

What tasks are not suitable for Flash workers?

Accepted Answer

Tasks that require flow semantics across boundaries, policy nuance, or understanding of anything outside the files the worker touched should stay with Claude, since workers may miss those contexts.
