Hamster for Aider
Hamster syncs briefs, plans, and team decisions into your repo. Aider reads them alongside your code — structured context on every session.
The problem
Aider works through conversation. Without structured requirements, the conversation drifts and the implementation diverges from what the team decided.
Aider sees the files you add to the chat. It does not see the product brief, the team constraints, or what other sessions have completed.
Handing Aider a full feature in one chat produces sprawling changes. Breaking work into focused chunks falls on you.
Write a brief in Hamster, and AI expands it into a full spec. Generate a plan with scoped tasks. The Hamster CLI syncs everything into .hamster/ — Aider reads the brief and task specs as part of the repo.
The Hamster CLI syncs briefs into .hamster/ as markdown. Add them to your Aider session for structured requirements alongside your code.
Hamster decomposes features into well-bounded tasks. Each Aider session focuses on one task with clear acceptance criteria.
The CLI keeps .hamster/ files in sync in real time. Every Aider session starts with current briefs, tasks, and plans — no manual context gathering.
Before
Chat with Aider about a feature. Re-explain requirements as the conversation drifts. Manually course-correct.
After
Add .hamster/ files to the Aider session. The brief and task spec keep the conversation on track.
Before
Each Aider session starts cold. Re-explain what was done and what remains.
After
The CLI keeps task status in sync. Each session picks up the next task with full context.
Before
Developers run independent Aider sessions with no shared requirements or task boundaries.
After
Everyone works from the same brief and plan. Aider sessions run in parallel without conflict.
Install the CLI, sync briefs and plans into your repo, and give your coding agent full project context.
