agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal.

• every agent at a glance — blocked, working, done. real terminal views, not a wrapped interpretation.
• detach, agents keep running — reattach from any terminal, or over ssh. sessions survive restarts.
• agents can use herdr too — a pure socket api: agents spawn panes, read output, wait on each other. agent skill →
• 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.
