Run a whole project across your coding agents without handing each one its task or keeping track of who is doing what

Herdr Projects lets you run a larger piece of work in Herdr when one agent isn't enough and managing five by hand is a job in itself. You talk to one coordinator agent. It starts a separate agent for each task on its own branch, gives every one of them the same goal, instructions and memory, and Herdr's own sidebar shows you which threads need you, which are ready for review and which are still working.

Keep one conversation going while the work happens in parallel

The coordinator never does the work itself, so it's always free to answer you. Each task runs in its own thread: a separate agent in its own git worktree and branch, or in its own folder when there's no repository. You read reports and answer the threads that need you instead of briefing every agent yourself.

Choose between briefing each agent by hand, one long agent session, a cloud projects product, or a coordinator in Herdr

Keep your attention on decisions. Herdr Projects starts and tracks the threads, your agents do the work, and you choose what to review, answer, or merge.

Tell the coordinator what you want. See which thread needs you in the sidebar.
