What it does

Herdr Orchestration is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Orchestrate Claude and Codex worker TUIs from a controller agent — one worker per named herdr tab, driven over the herdr socket CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/plan-mode.md`).

The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

Example prompts

  • “/herdr-orchestration”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • codex

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Herdr Orchestration loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,677 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,677 words (~3,298 tokens).

“The top-level agent is the controller (Codex, Claude, Fable, or another); it delegates to worker TUIs that gather evidence, draft bounded patches, run tests, and report. The controller owns assignment, state, conflict control, verification, integration, and the final user-facing answer…”
