Herdr Agent Tab Titles — Productivity skill for Claude Code

Agent Tab Titles

A [Herdr](https://herdr.dev) plugin that renames each tab to the task its coding agent is working on.

Herdr tabs are numbered `1 2 3 4`, and naming them by hand is friction nobody keeps up with. Coding agents already publish what they are doing as the terminal title, so this plugin copies that onto the tab.


Install

herdr plugin install ajaykumarMohite/herdr-agent-tab-titles --yes
herdr plugin action invoke ajaykumarmohite.agent-tab-titles.install-claude-code-hook

The second command registers a small shim on Claude Code's `UserPromptSubmit` and `Stop` events, so every tab relabels itself as work moves. Restart running Claude Code sessions afterwards — hooks load at session start.

Keep more than one Claude Code configuration? The installer writes into `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, so set it and run the action once per directory:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-work herdr plugin action invoke ajaykumarmohite.agent-tab-titles.install-claude-code-hook

Use it without Claude Code

Every agent Herdr detects reports a terminal title, so the rename works for any of them. Two routes:

**The declared events.** The plugin listens for `pane.agent_status_changed` and `pane.agent_detected`, which Herdr dispatches to an installed plugin. No hook and no configuration.

**On demand.** Sweep every pane yourself:

herdr plugin action invoke ajaykumarmohite.agent-tab-titles.rename-all

Bind that to a key in `~/.config/herdr/config.toml`:

[[keys.command]]
key = "prefix+alt+t"
type = "shell"
command = "herdr plugin action invoke ajaykumarmohite.agent-tab-titles.rename-all"
