Hamster for Copilot

The planning layer for Copilot teams.

Hamster syncs briefs, plans, and team decisions into your repo. Copilot reads them alongside your code — suggestions that fit your actual requirements.

The problem

Copilot sees the code. It does not see the plan.

Suggestions without requirements context

Copilot autocompletes based on surrounding code. It does not know the product requirements, the team constraints, or the acceptance criteria for the feature you are building.

Agent mode needs structured input

Copilot Agent can handle multi-file tasks, but it needs well-scoped instructions. A vague issue title produces vague output. The quality of what goes in determines what comes out.

No shared context across team sessions

Each developer prompts Copilot independently. There is no shared understanding of what the feature should do, what was already decided, or what remains.

Hamster gives Copilot structured context.

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/ — Copilot reads the full brief alongside your code.

Requirements in the repo

The Hamster CLI syncs briefs, tasks, and plans into .hamster/ as markdown. Copilot can reference them for suggestions that match your actual product requirements.

Scoped tasks for Agent mode

Hamster decomposes features into well-bounded tasks with acceptance criteria. Copilot Agent executes against clear specs instead of vague issue titles.

Always-on context via the CLI

The Hamster CLI keeps .hamster/ files in sync in real time. Every Copilot session starts with current context — no manual gathering, no stale specs.

How teams use Hamster with Copilot

Feature implementation

Before

Open a file, start typing, and hope Copilot infers the right implementation from the code around it.

After

The Hamster CLI syncs the brief into your repo. Copilot references .hamster/ files for suggestions that match the spec your team aligned on.

Agent mode tasks

Before

Point Copilot Agent at an issue with a title and a sentence of description. Review the PR and find it missed half the requirements.

After

Hamster generates scoped tasks with acceptance criteria. Copilot Agent reads the full task spec from .hamster/ and delivers code that matches.

Team coordination

Before

Three developers use Copilot on the same feature. No shared context. Overlapping implementations and merge conflicts.

After

Hamster breaks the feature into non-overlapping tasks. Each developer works against a clear spec. Copilot sessions run in parallel without conflict.

Give Copilot the context it deserves.

Structured briefs and scoped tasks for focused AI-assisted development.
