 "what": "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.",
