Show HN: An inbox for your AI coding agents (herdr plugin)
The herdr-agent-inbox plugin adds an inbox‑style interface for managing AI coding agents within the herdr environment. It provides session titles, triage queues, running‑time displays, workspace rollups, and resumable chat history for agents such as Claude, Pi, and Codex. Installation requires herdr ≥ 0.7.0 and Python 3.11+, and the plugin is configured via standard herdr plugin settings.
- ▪The plugin creates a sidebar inbox where agents are organized by state such as blocked, working, idle, and settled.
- ▪Session titles are generated from each agent's conversation and can be summarized by a configurable LLM command.
- ▪Users can settle, mark unread, or regenerate titles through defined keybindings like prefix+m and prefix+shift+m.
- ▪Closed chats are retained in a global history browser and can be resumed with commands like claude --resume.
- ▪Configuration files and keybindings are managed through herdr’s TOML config and hot‑reloaded on changes.

What you get Session titles — every agent pane gets a real title derived from its conversation ("Fix flaky payment webhook tests"), not just claude or a directory name. Reads the agent's native transcript (claude / pi / codex), optionally summarized by any LLM command you configure.
