README

Herdr Agent Prompt Viewer (`herdr-agent-prompt`)

A Herdr plugin that shows the active coding agent's original prompt in an interactive overlay on shortcut press.

Supports **Antigravity (agy)**, **Claude Code**, **Pi**, and **Codex**, plus fallback detection for other agent panes.

Features

  • Shortcut Access: Press prefix+p from any agent pane to immediately view its original prompt in an overlay.
  • Multi-Turn Navigation: Displays the original prompt by default (Turn 1/N [ORIGINAL]). Cycle between turns with [ / ] or p / n, or press 1 to return to the original prompt.
  • One-Key Clipboard Copy: Press y, c, or Enter to copy the prompt to your clipboard via OSC 52 (works over SSH, Moshi, Ghostty, and local terminals) with native clipboard fallbacks (wl-copy, xclip, pbcopy).
  • Smooth Text Scrolling: Word-wrapped prompt text with full arrow, vi (j/k), page (Space/b), and boundary (g/G) navigation.
  • Cross-Pane Diagnostics: If triggered on a pane without an agent (e.g. a plain shell), displays a list of all live agents across other panes, allowing you to select and inspect any agent.
  • CLI & Scripting Support: Run plugin.py list or plugin.py get [pane] directly from the shell or terminal scripts.

Requirements

  • Herdr 0.7.0 or newer on Linux or macOS.
  • Python 3 on PATH as python3 (3.11+ for install.py, which uses the standard-library tomllib). The plugin has no third-party dependencies.
  • Optional clipboard helpers for terminals without OSC 52: wl-copy, xclip, or pbcopy.

Installation

From the Herdr marketplace

herdr plugin install jeffbking/herdr-agent-prompt

Then bind the action to a shortcut in `~/.config/herdr/config.toml`:

[[keys.command]]
key = "prefix+p"
type = "plugin_action"
command = "herdr-agent-prompt.open"
description = "show agent original prompt"

Reload the running server so the binding takes effect:

herdr server reload-co
