Connect Figma so Hamster can reference your designs when writing briefs, blueprints, and plans.
The Figma connection links your Figma account to Hamster Studio. Once connected, Hamster can pull in relevant designs — screens, components, layout decisions — when you're working on a brief or blueprint. Instead of describing a design in words, attach the Figma file and let Hamster work from the actual source.
You can also upload .fig files directly to a brief's Context tab. Hamster extracts thumbnails, structure, and design details from the file, making design context available even without an active Figma connection.
Hamster only requests read access to your Figma files. It cannot modify your designs.
Hamster uses design context when writing briefs, blueprints, and generating task plans. If a brief mentions a specific screen or component and Figma is connected, Hamster references the actual design instead of working from a text description alone.
You can also drop Figma's native .fig files directly into a brief's Context tab, the same way you'd upload a PDF or image. Hamster reads the file and extracts:
This is useful when you want to share a specific design snapshot, or when working without an active Figma connection.
.fig files for design snapshots you want to freeze as context. The uploaded file captures the design at that point in time, independent of future Figma changes.
