# Tianshu Harness (open-source AI desktop app)

> Tianshu Harness is a free, open-source AI desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. 天枢harness是一个的终端编程智能体，它要回答的核心问题是：模型何以稳定地交付——目标不漂移、完成有证据、验证有闭环，不说"应该修好了"。为此它在模型与真实世界之间建立一层认知执行环境（CVM），把目标、状态、证据、资源、权限与终止条件从对话历史中外部化，由运行时持续管理。同时对deepseek v4极度优化。. It has 1,067 GitHub stars and is released under the Apache-2.0 license. Its source code is on GitHub at huiliyi37/Tianshu-harness.

天枢是一个 TypeScript 编写的编程 agent 运行时，终端 TUI 与桌面 GUI 共享同一内核。它要回答的核心问题是：模型何以稳定地交付——目标不漂移、完成有证据、验证有闭环，不说"应该修好了"。为此它在模型与真实世界之间建立一层认知执行环境（CVM），把目标、状态、证据、资源、权限与终止条件从对话历史中外部化，由运行时持续管理。 模型提供认知能力，CVM 提供认知执行语义。LLM provides cognition. CVM provides execution semantics.
