herdr provides a terminal-native agent multiplexer that exposes workspaces, tabs, and panes. This skill documents how an assistant can control herdr via its CLI to inspect panes, create tabs, split panes, run commands, wait for output or agent status, and coordinate multiple agents and processes in one terminal. Concrete recipes cover running servers, running tests in isolated panes, waiting for readiness, and spawning additional agents.
Use this skill when the assistant is running inside a herdr session (HERDR_ENV=1) and needs to: manage panes/tabs/workspaces, run commands in sibling panes, wait for specific output before continuing, check another agent's status, or orchestrate parallel tasks in the terminal. It's aimed at developer workflows (builds, tests, log watching, agent coordination).
Likely compatible with CLI-oriented agents and developer-focused clients that can run shell commands (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, CLI-based assistants).
