Hamster for Cline
Hamster syncs briefs, plans, and team decisions into your repo. Cline reads them directly — the full brief, the reasoning, the acceptance criteria.
The problem
Cline runs multi-step tasks without interruption. When the input is vague, it makes assumptions at every step — and each assumption compounds into output that drifts from what you intended.
Cline reads your files, but product decisions live in docs, tickets, and conversations. It builds from code context alone, missing the why behind every choice.
Each Cline session starts fresh. There is no persistent understanding of what was completed, what remains, or how this task fits the larger feature.
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/ — Cline reads the brief, reasoning, and acceptance criteria before it starts.
Cline works best when it has everything upfront. Hamster tasks include requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria so Cline executes without making assumptions.
Hamster decomposes features into tasks sized for a single autonomous session. Each task has clear boundaries, reducing the risk of sprawling changes.
The Hamster CLI syncs briefs, tasks, and plans into .hamster/ in real time. Cline reads them on every action — no stale specs, no re-explanation.
Before
Give Cline a vague description. It makes assumptions, edits too many files, and the PR needs significant revision.
After
The Hamster CLI syncs scoped tasks with acceptance criteria. Cline reads .hamster/ files and executes against a clear spec.
Before
Track progress manually between Cline sessions. 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 of what was completed.
Before
Multiple developers run Cline sessions independently. No shared task boundaries or requirements.
After
Hamster breaks features into non-overlapping tasks. Everyone works from the same brief and plan.
