Use when the user mentions herdr or is working inside a herdr pane and wants to save/restore a pane layout, change herdr's theme, prefix or other preferences on this host only, start or check on an agent in another herdr pane, add, turn off or open a herdr plugin (file viewer, keybindings), or asks why the herdr sidebar colors are unreadable. Requires HERDR_ENV=1.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# herdr
herdr is the terminal workspace manager the dotfiles install for coding agents
(workspaces > tabs > panes, with agent state in the sidebar). This skill is the
herdr counterpart of the `tmux` skill: the same verbs, backed by herdr's own
CLI plus two bundled tools for what the CLI lacks.
**Gate first.** Every command below talks to the server socket of the pane you
are in. Run `test "${HERDR_ENV:-}" = 1`; if it fails, say you are not inside
herdr and stop. Never control a herdr session from outside it.
**Host-local by design.** Everything this skill writes lives under
`~/.config/herdr/` (`layouts/`, `config.toml`), never in the dotfiles repo.
The fleet baseline for `config.toml` is `ai/herdr/config.toml`, rendered by
`install_herdr.sh config`; per-host changes go through `herdr-prefs`, which
takes ownership of the file away from `install.sh`.
## Verb map (tmux skill -> herdr)
| tmux-mgr | herdr | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `session list/new/attach/kill` | `herdr session list/attach <name>/stop <name>` | Named sessions are separate servers; prefer workspaces |

How to install
mdr add sfc-gh-eraigosa/dotfiles/herdr@sha256:63618924c54db43eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.b7391d8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
