Tried this for a couple days, but conductor.build is way better IME. Running _in_ the terminal is a flex, but doesn't actually bring any advantage.
I was just looking at conductor and was not very jazzed about the fact that it was running the agents directly on the host. Being able to launch from a terminal means this one can (hopefully) run from inside the sandboxing setup I use for coding agents.

#92I switched from tmux to Zellij a while back, and lately added a stop hook that sends a terminal ping to the correct tab when the agent is done (and I'm not looking at the tab). It has been pretty convenient so far. Added an example here: https://johnny.chadda.se/zellij-stop-hook/
Nice!
Does anyone know anything like this for Ghostty?
Re: Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
#93The utility is not obvious, but I've been using herdr for a few weeks after a friend recommended it, and it's been a great tool. I had about a dozen different terminal windows, each one with multiple tabs, which was becoming a mess to manage; multiple agents and harnesses running that I could only inspect by remote access/VNC away from home. With this, I can keep things more organized (project workspaces, tabs), beca…
Couldn't you just use tmux for the remote access?
Short version, yes, but herdr is more mouse / touch friendly in my experience. I was using tmux for my mobile access before and after tweaking things it worked well, but herdr worked out of the box for me.

cmux is literally built on Ghostty

#96Will people really need a bunch of different agents? Even using two codex session for different project make me feel a bit overwhelmed, or may be i just old
Nope, they need to signal, that they know what they are doing and chic, and very trendy. And agent cnt must be > 12, open windows cnt > 6 otherwise feels himself as a peasant.

#97Damm, looks a lot like my almost abandoned "foreman", except the mine has a background "foreman" that watches for issues and corrects them.
Re: Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
#98nice, not dissimilar to what i built for https://github.com/storozhenko98/beehive
time to ask AI what the best features in yours and Ops are and then merge them into my also similar project .

#99On the webpage's demo, it has a really slick looking UI. How do we have that?
Re: Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
#100One interesting thing that I couldn't find in these comments or in their docs (even in the https://herdr.dev/docs/preview/concepts/#mouse-ui section), is that Herdr supports native-feeling scroll. You can scroll with your mouse wheel. That to me is a killer feature over tmux
I mean, assuming you're on tmux 3.6 or newer, try setting `set -g mouse on` in your tmux conf, then scrolling should just work. Should it be a default? Maybe. (edit: also lets you click on panes, adjust splits, etc.)
