Every new AI session starts with the same ritual: paste the docs, explain the repo, restate the goal, add the constraints, remind it what not to do.
Lee confirmed the pain immediately: every new AI session meant re-educating the model from scratch.
Adriel had already built his own harness with Obsidian, Claude, skills files, and guardrails. Even then, the behavior kept shifting:
"It just becomes more and more scaffolding to try and keep it doing the same thing consistently."
That is a brutal place to be. You have the AI tool. You have the knowledge. You have the conventions. But the connection between them depends on whoever is patient enough to paste the right context into the right session at the right moment.
Hamster turns team context into reusable context. Briefs carry the intent. Blueprints carry the product state. Methods carry how your team wants work done. The Context Graph connects it all. The MCP Server and CLI bring that context into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and the tools engineers already use.
The win is not "better prompting." It is not making every engineer maintain their own context ritual. The win is that humans and agents start from the same team memory.
Do not start by asking engineers to leave their editor. Start by putting Hamster context where they already work. The IDE path is usually the adoption path.
