What does herdr do?
herdr is a Claude skill that lets Claude control Herdr, a terminal multiplexer that arranges terminals into workspaces, tabs and panes and spots coding agents running inside them. Claude first checks that HERDR_ENV is 1 and stops if it is not. It then learns the installed commands from herdr --help, splits a sibling pane with herdr pane split, starts a named agent such as a Codex reviewer with herdr agent start, sends it a prompt and waits for an idle, done or blocked state. It can also run tests in another pane and read the output. Safety rules forbid closing panes it did not create or stopping the Herdr server.
When should you use herdr?
Use it when
- You want a second agent to review your diff
- You need tests running in a side pane
- You coordinate agents across saved SSH machines
Skip it when
- Claude is not running inside a Herdr pane
- You only need one background shell command
What it needs and what it can touch
You need
- Herdr installed, with Claude running inside a Herdr pane
What it can do
- Runs shell commands (herdr CLI)
- Starts and prompts other coding agents
- Can control panes on saved SSH machines
From reading its instructions, not from running it.
