The planning layer for Cursor teams.
The Hamster CLI syncs Briefs, Plans, and team decisions into your repo so Cursor can work from your team's requirements alongside the code.
Free for 10 briefs a month.
Cursor sessions need the decisions behind the feature.
Cursor sessions start without a plan
You open Composer with a vague idea of what to build. The AI starts generating, you course-correct mid-session, and the result is a tangle of changes that needs significant manual cleanup.
Product context gets lost before it reaches the editor
Requirements exist in documents, tickets, and conversations. By the time you are typing a Composer prompt, critical context has been lost or simplified beyond usefulness.
Parallel Cursor sessions create merge conflicts
Multiple developers using Cursor on the same feature without coordinated task boundaries produce overlapping changes. The merge overhead erodes the speed gains from AI-assisted editing.
Hamster brings structure to your Cursor workflow.
Hamster drafts a Brief from your intent and generates a Plan with scoped Tasks. The CLI syncs that work into .hamster/ so Cursor can read the requirements and acceptance criteria before building.
Requirements before prompts
Cursor users benefit from well-structured requirements before starting an interactive session. Hamster briefs define the outcome, scope, and constraints so Cursor sessions stay on-target.
Session-sized tasks
Interactive AI coding is most effective on well-scoped units of work. Hamster decomposes features into tasks that fit a single focused Cursor session, preventing scope creep.
Always-current context via the CLI
The CLI keeps the Briefs, Tasks, and Plans in .hamster/ current as your team makes changes, so Cursor can pick up the latest requirements without manual copying.
How teams use Hamster with Cursor
Feature planning to Cursor session
Before
Requirements supplied only in a prompt can leave the scope unclear, requiring more explanation and corrections as the agent builds.
After
The agent reads the Brief and task details from .hamster/, so its work can be reviewed against the requirements your team agreed on.
Team coordination with AI-assisted coding
Before
Developers working in separate coding sessions can duplicate work when they have no shared requirements or task boundaries.
After
Hamster gives the team a shared Brief and scoped Tasks, so each developer can choose work with clear acceptance criteria.
Design implementation
Before
A prompt assembled from design files can leave out interaction details or constraints that engineering needs to implement the feature.
After
The shared Brief carries design decisions into the Tasks, so developers and their coding agents can review the implementation against the same requirements.
Bring your next Brief into Cursor.
Your coding agent can work from the shared Brief and scoped Tasks, giving you clear acceptance criteria to review its changes against.
The Free plan includes 10 Briefs a month for you and your team.
