SkillPilot vs Herdwick

SkillPilot is a discovery and monitoring client for open-source AI developer tools: agents, Claude skills, MCP servers, CLIs and repositories. It shows you what exists, what changed, and what needs attention, and it links every entry back to its source on GitHub. Find the right tool Browse a catalog organised into 12 categories, from Development, AI Agents and Automation to Marketing, Design, Security, Data and Research, RAG and Knowledge, LLM Ops and Token and Cost Optimization. Search by name or description, open a category to see its subcategory shelves, and tap any card for the owner, type, description, tags, a short README excerpt quoted from the project, and a direct link to the repository. See what is new The New tab surfaces a Daily Winner, the latest releases and the tools that are rising fastest this week, so you can check the ecosystem in a minute. Keep your stack healthy The Browse tab gives your monitored tools a single health score with tiles for updates, breaking changes and security issues, plus a list of priority alerts. My Skills lists every tool you track with its status, installed and latest version and an authority score out of 100. Open a tool to read its health summary and security posture, what changed between versions, a side by side version comparison and a recommended action. Act on alerts The Alerts inbox groups open alerts by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low), names the alert type, and links to the evidence on GitHub. Mark an alert resolved or start a migration review from the same screen. Read-only by design SkillPilot never installs, runs or changes anything on your machine. It reads public data about open-source projects and presents it; every decision stays with you.

Answer your coding agents from your phone. Herdwick connects to herdr on your own Mac or Linux machines over SSH. See what your agents did and reply from iPhone or iPad. ONE INBOX Every agent on your saved hosts, in one list. The ones waiting on you come first. READ THE CONVERSATION Conversations from omp, Claude Code and Codex show as a chat. Tool steps fold into one line; open it for detail. Edits show as diffs, line by line. Other agents, and transcripts that aren't available, open in the terminal. A line marks what's new since you last looked. ANSWER Tap an option on a supported question or permission prompt, or type a reply. The terminal is always there. USE THE TERMINAL Live output, a message box and keys for Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter and Ctrl-C. Typing mode is optional; it takes control and resizes the pane on your host. CONNECT YOUR MACHINES Use SSH with a key made on your device, or a password. Tailscale sign-in and a machine picker are built in; Tailscale SSH needs setup on your host and tailnet. Nothing to install for Herdwick on your host beyond herdr. KEEP YOUR PLACE While Herdwick reconnects, your last view stays on screen. Pick from seven terminal themes, set separately for light and dark. TRY THE DEMO Look around a scripted demo host before you connect your own. No Herdwick account needed. PRIVACY Your SSH private key stays in the device Keychain. Messages and attachments go to your host, not to a Herdwick server. No analytics. If you use Tailscale, its privacy policy applies. REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later, and a Mac or Linux host running herdr that you can reach. Your agents run on the host, not on your phone. Herdwick is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the herdr project or Tailscale Inc. Tailscale is a registered trademark of Tailscale Inc.
