What the skill teaches

The agent skill shipped with herdr, a terminal multiplexer that keeps panes running in a background server and tracks whether coding agents in them are working, blocked or idle. The skill is meant only for when the user asks for herdr, and only inside a herdr pane. The agent learns the command-line tool from its help output, reads workspace, tab and pane IDs from JSON, opens side panes without taking focus, starts other agents such as Claude Code or Codex in panes, sends them prompts and waits on their state, and runs and reads ordinary commands. It can also target saved SSH machines. Safety rules forbid closing panes it did not create or stopping the server.

Capabilities

  • Open panes and tabs in a herdr session
  • Start other coding agents and send them prompts
  • Wait for an agent to finish or become blocked
  • Run commands in panes and read their output
