herdrSkill

Control Herdr, a terminal multiplexer for coding agents. Use only when the user explicitly mentions Herdr or asks to use Herdr to inspect or control panes, tabs, workspaces, commands, or another agent. Do not use merely because a task could benefit from a background terminal, delegation, or parallel work. Requires HERDR_ENV=1.

Install
herdr-pre-release-auditSkill

Audit herdr release readiness by comparing commits since the base release against next-release changelog and docs. Use when asked to run or apply the repo's pre-release audit, validate docs/next before release, inspect issue refs that release CI will close, or finalize release docs for herdr.

Install
herdr-throwaway-reproSkill

Create and control a disposable named Herdr session from inside an existing Herdr session. Use for isolated Herdr runtime, pane, terminal, process, API, persistence, or agent reproductions that should be driven through the CLI/API without touching the default session.

Install
triageSkill

Triage open herdr GitHub issues into a concise decision-first Markdown table. Use when the user says "triage", asks to triage open issues, asks which issues need attention, or wants issue priority/recommendation lights for herdr.

the runtime your coding agents live on.

  • detach without stopping work — herdr keeps terminals running in a background server when you close the client or lose your SSH connection. after a server or machine restart, herdr restores the saved layout and can resume supported agent sessions; the original processes do not survive. session state →

  • several machines, one window — keep local work and saved ssh machines together, with a combined agent list and independent reconnects. remote machines →

  • never hunt for the stuck one — every pane is marked working, blocked, or idle. when an agent stops and needs an answer, herdr says so.

  • agent-native — agents drive herdr through the cli and socket api: they can spawn panes, prompt each other, and wait until another agent is genuinely blocked. agent skill →

  • runs what you already run — claude code, codex, cursor, opencode, grok and the rest. herdr doesn't wrap or replace them; it owns their terminals. building an agent? add herdr support →

  • keyboard and mouse, both first-class — tmux-style prefix keys and click, drag, split. pick per moment, not per tool.

  • plugins — extend panes and workflows. browse the marketplace →

  • one rust binary, no electron — runs in whatever terminal you already use.
