herdr: orchestrating your coding agents in the terminal

herdr is a background server that owns your coding agents' terminals: every pane exposes a state (idle, working, blocked, done), and the CLI and socket let the agent itself drive the herd. This guide says what I do with it daily, the split/wait/read flow, and the verified traps.

tmux, cmux, herdr: orchestrating agents, not shells

tmux was designed to multiplex human shells; coding agents need something else — seeing who's blocked, who's waiting, who's done. My split: tmux unchanged on servers, herdr locally (adopted within days), cmux if you want turnkey macOS. The question isn't "what replaces tmux" but "one tool per context".
