In plain English

edoCpeeD (DeepSeek Code) is a Python project that lets you use Claude Code's interaction layer, the system that handles conversations, tool use, and command execution, but powered by DeepSeek's AI models instead of Anthropic's Claude. Think of it as a compatibility shim: Claude Code expects a certain format for messages and tool calls, but DeepSeek uses a slightly different format. This project translates between the two so DeepSeek can act as a drop-in replacement. The project handles several translation tasks: converting Claude's message format to DeepSeek's format, remapping how tool definitions and tool results are passed back and forth, and streaming responses correctly. It also re-implements locally some Claude-specific helpers, permission checking before running commands, Git integration (reading configs, diffs, branches), and GitHub CLI support, so these features still work when DeepSeek is the underlying model. You would use this if you want to run an AI coding assistant similar to Claude Code but using DeepSeek's API, which may suit different cost or access preferences. You configure it with your DeepSeek API keys and endpoints in a .env file and run it from the command line with or without its full set of local tools enabled. The tech stack is Python.
