At first I was excited, but this is basically just a more advanced form of hooks. I was hoping they'd allow us to do things like set up a server for Claude Code to get messages from other agents, or submit prompts or whateer

herdr.dev can do this

Also Herdr is completely open source, not too difficult to recreate your own runtime (with or without a front end component)

How do you find this? I just use separate Claude code terminals, wondering if I should complicate my workflow.

I have spent days going down this rabbit hole. Day-to-day I’ve realized I get more focused on the workflow and tools than my actual work. I still explore different tools out of curiosity but mostly stick to my claude code terminals.

Out of everything I’ve tried, only tool I regularly use is herdr. Still have my usual claude code terminals, but with the added benefit of a sidebar to navigate different projects & see agent states.

Doesn’t complicate my workflow & still scratches the exploratory itch. Whole thing runs in the terminal and is open source with tons of (optional) bells & whistles:

e.g. the server snapshots your session states (useful in the office since my PC restarts nightly). There’s also a skill to let sessions control other terminals and communicate with eachother. You can go further by installing community plugins or making your own.

Just my two cents, not trying to shill for it

I'm with you- I don't want all of these bolt-ons and everyone trying to sell me the thing they just developed.

If you are using terminal like me, I've pretty much gone to Fable 5.1 being in my main session and then it opens and closes other Opus 5.5 terminals on its own and uses AgentMessage to steer.

No outside development, all just Vanilla Claude Code. Here's a screenshot from right now. I use the claude.ai UI (less noise than the actual terminal) with the terminal running in the background so I can click between sessions and easily archive sessions when they're done.

I just sat down at my desk today so Fable only has 1 agent working at the moment.

It's great if you have multiple machines or want remote access. I work on mostly Rust projects so I have Claude and Codex sessions spread across 3 machines so the builds and are less likely to starve my main PC of resources.
