Install omarchy-herdr on Omarchy
Herdr is a background terminal runtime purpose-built for running AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. It keeps each agent in its own real terminal session inside workspaces, tabs, and panes, and those sessions keep running even if you close the terminal or lose network — you reattach later with a single command. It shows at a glance which agents are working, blocked, or idle, and lets agents spawn panes or prompt each other for multi-agent coordination. This Omarchy package adds Omarchy-specific pane border styling on top of upstream Herdr.
