What is this?

Quantum-Practices is a DeepSeek Harness tool bundle for quantum algorithm best practices. It provides structured, reviewable guidance to DeepSeek Harness agents through a read-only model-facing tool.

As a DeepSeek Harness plugin, it registers one read-only quantum_practices tool for listing, searching, and reading packaged quantum algorithm practice guides from an immutable build-time catalog.

Quantum-Practices is based on and adapted from the GitHub project unitarylab/quantum-skills. The original project provides the quantum algorithm guide corpus; this repository reworks that foundation into a DeepSeek Harness tool bundle with a generated, read-only practice catalog.

✨ Key Features

• Progressive Disclosure — Root SKILL.md is lightweight; algorithm and simulator guides load only when needed.
• DeepSeek Harness Tool Bundle — quantum_practices exposes list, search, and get without executing code.
• Read-Only Runtime — No network, subprocess, filesystem writes, Python execution, credentials, or native code.
• Best-Practice Coverage — Primitives, linear systems, cryptography, Hamiltonian simulation, Schrodingerization, eigensolvers, gradients, quantum machine learning, state preparation, and quantum error correction.
• Multi-Simulator Support — UnitaryLab (recommended), Qiskit, and PennyLane, with clear selection rules.
• GitHub-Sourced Corpus — Practice guides are synchronized from the public GitHub upstream only.
• Education-Friendly — Suitable for concept explanation, circuit design, code review, and hands-on demos.

DeepSeek Harness Plugin

For most users, install Quantum-Practices into the DeepSeek Harness profile you use, then ask your agent to consult Quantum-Practices before answering quantum algorithm questions.

If you use the Web UI:

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 plugin --profile web add \
  github:unitarylab/quantum-practices#main

Restart DeepSeek Harness Web after installation.

If you use the headless CLI:

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 plugin --profile headless add \
  github:unitarylab/quantum-practices#main

For local development, install this checkout directly:

dsh plugin --profile web add "/path/to/quantum-practices"
dsh plugin --profile headless add "/path/to/quantum-practices"

For review or release evidence, replace main with a pinned 40-character commit SHA.

Verify that the profile contains the inserted row:

dsh --profile headless --dump-config | \
  rg "tool-quantum-practices|dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices"

Expected output:

# == dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices
- id: tool-quantum-practices
  name: dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices

Run a functional test:

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 --profile headless \
  "Use the quantum_practices tool to find the HHL practice guide and explain the required matrix constraints."

After installation, users can ask naturally. The model should call quantum_practices in the background:

Use Quantum-Practices to review HHL before explaining the matrix constraints on A.
Before writing Grover code, check Quantum-Practices and list the common implementation pitfalls.
Use Quantum-Practices to compare quantum phase estimation and the quantum Fourier transform.
Consult Quantum-Practices and recommend a simulator for a variational quantum algorithm.
Check Quantum-Practices and explain how Trotter and QDrift differ for Hamiltonian simulation.

By default, get returns a brief, token-conscious view with the most relevant sections. The model should request detail="full" only when the user needs full implementation notes, complete examples, or debugging context.

Developers can also inspect the tool contract directly:

quantum_practices(action="list")
quantum_practices(action="search", query="HHL linear system")
quantum_practices(action="get", id="algorithms/linear-systems/hhl")
quantum_practices(action="get", query="Explain HHL matrix constraints")
quantum_practices(action="get", query="Implement HHL with a 2x2 example", detail="full")

The DSH plugin never executes algorithms/**/scripts/*.py and never installs or imports Python dependencies.

---

Build and Verify

npm ci
npm run check
npm pack --dry-run --json

npm run build regenerates src/generated/skill-catalog.ts and compiles the committed lib/ release artifact.

---

Python Runtime

Quantum-Practices does not ship a root requirements.txt, bundled wheels, or a Python runtime. Any Python setup belongs to the separate project where you choose to run generated examples; it is not part of the DeepSeek Harness plugin install path.

DeepSeek Harness 插件

普通用户不需要理解底层 action。把 Quantum-Practices 安装进正在使用的 DeepSeek Harness profile 之后，直接让 Agent 先查 Quantum-Practices，再回答量子算法问题即可。

如果你使用 Web UI：

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 plugin --profile web add \
  github:unitarylab/quantum-practices#main

安装后重启 DeepSeek Harness Web。

如果你使用 headless CLI：

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 plugin --profile headless add \
  github:unitarylab/quantum-practices#main

本地开发时，可以直接安装当前 checkout：

dsh plugin --profile web add "/path/to/quantum-practices"
dsh plugin --profile headless add "/path/to/quantum-practices"

审核或 release evidence 建议把 main 换成固定的 40 位 commit SHA。

验证 profile 中是否出现插入的 row：

dsh --profile headless --dump-config | \
  rg "tool-quantum-practices|dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices"

期望输出：

# == dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices
- id: tool-quantum-practices
  name: dsh-unitarylab-quantum-practices

做一次真实功能测试：

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 --profile headless \
  "Use the quantum_practices tool to find the HHL practice guide and explain the required matrix constraints."

安装完成后，用户可以直接自然提问；模型应在后台调用 quantum_practices：

请先查 Quantum-Practices，再解释 HHL 对矩阵 A 的约束。
写 Grover 代码前，请查 Quantum-Practices 并列出常见实现错误。
请根据 Quantum-Practices 比较量子相位估计和量子傅里叶变换。
请查 Quantum-Practices，并建议变分量子算法应该使用哪个 simulator。
请参考 Quantum-Practices，说明 Trotter 和 QDrift 在哈密顿量模拟中的区别。

默认情况下，get 返回省 token 的 brief 视图，只包含最相关的章节。只有当用户需要完整实现说明、完整示例或调试上下文时，模型才应该请求 detail="full"。

开发者也可以直接查看工具接口：

quantum_practices(action="list")
quantum_practices(action="search", query="HHL linear system")
quantum_practices(action="get", id="algorithms/linear-systems/hhl")
quantum_practices(action="get", query="Explain HHL matrix constraints")
quantum_practices(action="get", query="Implement HHL with a 2x2 example", detail="full")

DSH 插件不会执行 algorithms/**/scripts/*.py，也不会安装或导入 Python 依赖。

---

构建与验证

npm ci
npm run check
npm pack --dry-run --json

npm run build 会重新生成 src/generated/skill-catalog.ts，并编译需要提交的 lib/ release artifact。

---

Python 运行时

Quantum-Practices 不发布根 requirements.txt、内置 wheel 或 Python runtime。任何 Python 环境都应属于你实际运行示例的独立项目，不属于 DeepSeek Harness 插件安装路径。
