Control Herdr panes, tabs, workspaces, and other agents. Use only when the user mentions Herdr.

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 organizes terminals into workspaces, tabs, and panes, recognizes coding agents in panes, and exposes the running server through the `herdr` CLI.

## Preconditions

- Run `test "${HERDR_ENV:-}" = 1` first.
  If it fails, say you are not inside Herdr and stop; never control the user's Herdr session from outside it.
- The installed binary is the authority for syntax.
  Run `herdr --help`, then a command group without a subcommand (for example `herdr agent`) to list its commands.
  `herdr --skill` prints Herdr's own current agent guide; consult it when this file and the binary disagree.
- Never run bare `herdr` (it launches the TUI).
  Never probe a mutating command by omitting arguments; `herdr workspace create` executes with defaults.
- Control commands return JSON.
  Read IDs and state from responses; do not predict them.

## Model

- IDs are opaque stable handles: workspace `w1`, tab `w1:t1`, pane `w1:p1`.
  Closed IDs are not reused.
- A pane exists with or without an agent.
  Use `pane` commands for shells, tests, and servers; use `agent` commands when Herdr must validate agent identity and interpret lifecycle state.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/herdr@sha256:d74f2af243a8d58a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.f2e3eac, 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.
