herdr is a powerful terminal-native agent multiplexer that allows agents to manage their own operational environment. It provides a structured hierarchy of workspaces, tabs, and panes, enabling agents to:
idle, working, blocked, done).This skill is essential for agents running within a herdr-managed environment (HERDR_ENV=1) to coordinate complex workflows and observe their own execution context.
herdr is a terminal multiplexer for agents. The SKILL.md is thorough documentation for controlling herdr workspaces, tabs, panes, and agents via CLI. The 8 bundled scripts are project build/test/dev tools (changelog management, terminal key capture, vendoring), not agent-executable skill scripts. None ran successfully in audit — 3 require interactive TTY, 2 have module import issues, 2 need project-specific context, and 1 requires subcommand args. The SKILL.md itself is well-written and useful for herdr users.
The scripts are developer tooling for the herdr project itself, not general-purpose scripts that an agent would execute as part of the skill workflow. The actual skill is the SKILL.md documentation which teaches an agent how to control herdr. No security concerns — all scripts are transparent, no network calls to suspicious hosts, no credentials, no destructive commands without guards.
