What is Pi Herdsman?
Pi Herdsman connects the Pi coding agent with the herdr workspace manager to turn separate Pi sessions into a coordinated team. It adds background agents, parallel and nested delegation, and project orchestration in which a manager coordinates branch-based work across several leads, with clear supervision roles throughout.
Pros
- Delegate work to background agents without blocking
- Parallel, branch-based project work
- Apache-2.0 licensed
Cons
- Needs both Pi and herdr
- Advanced setup for multi-agent workflows
Who should use Pi Herdsman
Pi users who want several coding agents working in parallel.
Who may not need it
People not using the Pi coding agent.
