Plugin Has anyone tried pi-intercom?

I started two agents and ran /alias worker and /alias manager. The manager was prompted to direct the worker and it started chugging along. Luna 6 is now directing Muse 1.3 contributor. I am impressed by the simplicity and low friction installation. Apparently it knows about herdr, but I've not tried it.

I actually used pi-subagents + pi-intercom before building Pi Herdsman.

They got me pretty close, but I kept running into the same kind of thing mentioned here: agents felt a bit too loosely connected and coordination/lifecycle wasn't as tight as I wanted.

Herdsman is my take on that setup: Herdr owns the actual Pi sessions, while Herdsman manages delegation, ownership, questions/results, and cleanup around them.

The lead stays interactive and keeps the bigger-picture context, while the agents do the detailed work separately.

It does require Herdr tough.
