Workflow Herdr

# Workflow Herdr

This is **not** the `herdr` skill. `herdr` is the multiplexer. This skill is
the workflow overlay: doctor, detection, graph, layout.

Python scripts do not loop `herdr agent prompt`. Herdr is the runtime.

- How to run: [references/run.md](references/run.md)
- Config: [workflow.yaml](workflow.yaml)
- Project profile: [references/project-workflow.md](references/project-workflow.md)

## Do

If `HERDR_ENV` is not `1`, stop.

Brain is this chat. Intent is what the human typed here.

**1. Doctor first** — before sizing, before any pane/tab/workspace:

```text
python scripts/bootstrap.py --project <abs>
# or: python scripts/bootstrap.py --project <abs> --fresh
```

That resolves `.herdr/workflow.yaml` over the global default, then live-checks
every startable seat: Herdr protocol (`herdr status`: `restart_needed`,
`private_protocol_compatible`, `server_binary_stale`), Herdr `--kind`, CLI
binary, **model inventory**, **reasoning effort**. If `ok` is false, print
`fixes` and stop. Protocol mismatch fix is `herdr server stop` then start
`herdr` again. Do not invent another model. Do not reuse a random idle agent.

Slow CLI inventories (`devin models list`) are cached under
`%LOCALAPPDATA%/workflow-herdr/probe-cache.json` (override
`WORKFLOW_HERDR_PROBE_CACHE`, TTL `WORKFLOW_HERDR_PROBE_TTL`, bypass
`--fresh` / `WORKFLOW_HERDR_PROBE_FRESH=1`). Codex models come from
`~/.codex/models_cache.json` when present, then `codex doctor`, then YAML
`known_models`.
