herdr with the skills

herdr is a terminal multiplexer for coding agents. It fits the skills for two reasons:

• Parallel worktrees: several /deliver sessions run side by side, one worktree and one pane each (parallel runs).
• Agent state in the sidebar: herdr detects by itself whether an agent works, waits for you or is done.

Nothing here is required. Without herdr the events are still written.

Events, not pane tokens

deliver does not call herdr itself and pushes no pane tokens or agent state. The session (and Invoke-DeliverLoop.ps1) sends every progress line as an event through Report-Progress.ps1, which only appends it to the event file. The file holds agent-events core events (run subject, open tasks, steps, progress, attentions, links) plus the deliver profile; a herdr plugin or poimen reads the core and shows what it wants.

The loop in herdr

• deliver-loop (shim, Install-LoopShim.ps1) opens the workspace <repo> · deliver (Start-LoopWorkspace.ps1) and runs the loop there in its own pane.
• The log pane deliver-log is opt-in with -LogPane (the console is already colored); a herdr key toggles it with Switch-LogPane.ps1.

Details: references/terminal-backends.md and references/loop.md of the deliver skill.

Plugins

GravionLabs/herdr-plugins holds herdr plugins for this workflow. Each installs on its own:

herdr plugin install GravionLabs/herdr-plugins/<plugin>

Plugin	Purpose
deliver-starter	Starts /deliver from a popup or an issue link, in a herdr worktree or the loop
deliver-board	Popup with the open PBIs, claims and PR state of release/next
deliver-view	Agent view with the deliver sessions first, blocked ones on top
review-popup	Shows the last deliver review of the current branch
deliver-log	Shows or hides the log pane of Invoke-DeliverLoop.ps1
agent-notify	Notification when an agent pane turns done or blocked
worktree-cleanup	Removes worktrees and branches of merged PBIs
layout-bootstrap	Opens a project workspace with agent, test and log panes
command-palette	Popup to search and run plugin actions and own commands with one key
repo-open	Opens a repository in a workspace
link-trim	Opens links without trailing ), ., , picked up by URL detection

The README of the repository is the source for the current list and status.

Recommended starter set

For /deliver users:

herdr plugin install GravionLabs/herdr-plugins/deliver-starter
herdr plugin install GravionLabs/herdr-plugins/deliver-board
herdr plugin install GravionLabs/herdr-plugins/review-popup
herdr plugin install GravionLabs/herdr-plugins/agent-notify

Add deliver-log when you run the loop and worktree-cleanup for parallel runs.
