Working with herdr

Night Porter is compatible with herdr. herdr is where you run and watch agents; Night Porter is what runs while you’re not there.

Take over a job

On any job, press h in the TUI, or run:

nightporter handoff <id>

Night Porter opens a herdr workspace at that job’s worktree, starts your agent and briefs it: what was asked, what it changed, which checks need you, and what is drafted but not posted. You carry on from there.

The queue inside herdr

Install the plugin to open Night Porter as a herdr popup:

herdr plugin install night-porter/nightporter

Then bind it to a key in herdr’s config:

[[keys.command]]
key = "prefix+n"
type = "plugin_action"
command = "nightporter.open-queue"
description = "Night Porter queue"

The plugin needs the nightporter binary on your PATH, and the daemon running for live updates.
