When NOT to use herdr
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using Herdr if direct integration with traditional terminal multiplexers like tmux is required without the extra layer of managing AI agents.
- Not recommended if you prefer tools that do not use Rust, and your primary requirement does not involve agent-based coding or artificial intelligence management.
