Overview
Herdr is an open-source project for orchestrating groups of AI agents around coordinated work. It focuses on structuring multiple specialized agents so they can divide tasks, communicate, and contribute to a larger objective instead of relying on a single assistant to perform every step.
The repository provides the runtime and configuration patterns needed to define agent roles and organize collaborative execution. Its design is intended for experimentation with agent teams and repeatable multi-agent workflows, where responsibilities can be separated and the overall process can be inspected or adapted.
Herdr is relevant to developers exploring multi-agent architectures for research, software work, or other complex tasks. It offers a starting point for testing how specialization and coordination affect agent performance without requiring users to design the entire orchestration layer from scratch.

the runtime your coding agents live on.
- always running — herdr is a background server; the terminals live inside it. close the lid, drop the network, or restart the machine; agents keep working and sessions come back. reattach from any terminal, or over ssh.
- never hunt for the stuck one — every pane is marked working, blocked, or idle. when an agent stops and needs an answer, herdr says so.
- agent-native — agents drive herdr through the cli and socket api: they can spawn panes, prompt each other, and wait until another agent is genuinely blocked. agent skill →
- runs what you already run — claude code, codex, cursor, opencode, grok and the rest. herdr doesn't wrap or replace them; it owns their terminals.
- keyboard and mouse, both first-class — tmux-style prefix keys and click, drag, split. pick per moment, not per tool.
- plugins — extend panes and workflows. browse the marketplace →
- one rust binary, no electron — runs in whatever terminal you already use.
