Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Drive the herdr terminal workspace manager, as the herdr TUI or the Herdr app and its herdr-core (`hc`) server: inspect workspaces, tabs, and panes, hand work to sibling coding agents in other panes (distinct from in-session `Agent` subagents), split panes for collaborative file viewing or long-running processes, and correlate panes to Claude sessions. Load this when the decision to hand a task to another pane's agent arrives mid-task, and when opening a file alongside the user, starting a dev …

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'herdr' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'herdr' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named herdr already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/bendrucker/claude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '497d619eb22e6f93dd49c4d8f6ff4a52578e0949' -- 'plugins/herdr/skills/herdr' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/herdr/skills/herdr' ~/.agents/skills/'herdr' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'herdr' ~/.claude/skills/'herdr' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
