How to use Herdr: what you can do with it

What is Herdr? herdr is a terminal runtime for coding agents. It keeps terminals running in a background server when you close the client or lose SSH, restores layouts after a restart, marks every pane as working, blocked or idle, and puts local and remote machines in one window. It runs the agents you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok) without wrapping them, and agents can drive herdr through its CLI and socket API to spawn panes and wait on each other.

How do I use it? Install with curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh; then start it with herdr; Split panes with tmux-style prefix keys or the mouse and start an agent in each. Full steps below.

  3. Install with curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh
  4. Start it with herdr
  5. Split panes with tmux-style prefix keys or the mouse and start an agent in each
  6. Answer whichever pane shows blocked

These steps come from our top use case, Run several coding agents and see which one is stuck, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
