Your agent already knows what to build.
Hamster syncs your briefs, tasks, and plans into your repo as markdown files — in real time. Your coding agent reads them on every action. No copy-paste. No stale specs. Just say what you want to build.
Auth Feature
Compatibility and optionality
One Hamster, any CLI, IDE, or model.
When your briefs, plans, and tasks live inside a vendor's tool, switching costs are brutal. A better model drops and you're stuck — or you start over.
Hamster is the central repository of work, not the model. Briefs and plans stay in one place. The agent is interchangeable. Use Claude for deep reasoning, Gemini for speed, an open-weight model for sensitive code — or a different model for every task on the board.
New frontier model ships on Tuesday? Point it at your .hamster/ directory and keep going.
MCP
Agents write back too.
The Hamster MCP server gives your agent 20 tools to mark tasks done, create subtasks, and update status — directly from the coding session. When the agent finishes a task, it updates the plan. No one has to do it manually.
How it works
Three commands. Always-on context.
Install, initialize, and start working. Your agent has full project context from the first prompt.
Install the CLI
Run the install command and authenticate with your Hamster workspace. Under a minute.
Initialize your repo
Run `hamster init`. Creates a .hamster/ directory and starts syncing your project context.
Work normally
Open your coding agent. The context files are already there. Ask it to build something — it knows what that means.
Key capabilities
Real-time file sync
Briefs, tasks, and plans land in .hamster/ as markdown the moment they change in Studio.
20 MCP tools built in
Mark tasks done, create subtasks, update status — all from the coding session.
Works offline
Context files are local. Your agent reads them even without a network connection.
Any MCP-compatible agent
One server, every tool. Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, and more.
Skill file generation
The CLI generates structured project maps so your agent understands the full codebase.
No new workflow
You don't pull context in. It's just there. Work the way you already work.
