About Shepherd Terminal
Shepherd Terminal is a specialized persistent terminal designed for running and managing coding agents like Codex and Claude side by side. Built for developers working with AI-driven workflows, Shepherd allows you to seamlessly run coding agents across multiple tabs, panes, and remote machines without losing your place.
Unlike standard terminal emulators, Shepherd keeps your terminal sessions alive even when the application closes. It actively tracks which agents are currently working or waiting, allowing you to easily return to their modified files and changes without context loss. Furthermore, the agents have a deep understanding of the current Shepherd context, giving them the ability to control tabs and panes, collect feedback through browser reviews, and provide real-time status monitoring for every active agent.
Pros of Shepherd Terminal
- Persistent terminal sessions stay alive even when the application is closed
- Side-by-side management for Codex and Claude coding agents
- Real-time status monitoring showing which agents are working or waiting
- Agents can understand context, control tabs and panes, and handle browser reviews
Cons of Shepherd Terminal
- Limited to specific workflows involving supported coding agents like Codex and Claude
- Requires managing multiple tabs, panes, and remote machines, which may have a learning curve
- Specific platform and environment compatibility details are limited in current documentation
