Plan in Hamster, and save your team’s usage limits for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Grok, and your other coding agents.
Hamster researches the codebase and writes the Plan on its own models, then syncs it into your repo. Your team's agents start from the same agreed tasks with acceptance criteria, so their usage goes to the build. Start alone, and add teammates when you want them to see the Plan.
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex in your repo. You sign in once in the browser, and the agent does the rest.
Set up Hamster in this repo: follow https://tryhamster.com/plugin/install, then run hamster init and hamster sync. Stop when you need me to sign in.

Skills and Methods, loaded from day one.
Plan once for the whole team, and spend every seat on building.
When each engineer plans alone in Claude Code or Cursor, every session pays to explore the codebase and draft a plan, then pays again when the plan turns out wrong.
In Hamster the research, the Brief, and the Plan run on Hamster's models once, and every teammate's agent builds from the same agreed tasks. The team gets one workflow from idea to reviewed pull request, and its usage goes to the code.
Planned once, on Hamster's models
- Research
- Hamster reads the codebase, docs, and linked tickets, so every agent starts with that context.
- Brief
- The team agrees on what to build and why before any agent starts.
- Plan
- Hamster splits the Brief into scoped tasks with acceptance criteria.
Built by each teammate's agent, on their plan
- Sync
hamster syncputs the Brief and its Plan in.hamster/in every clone of the repo.- Build
- Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex takes the next task with the context it needs.
- Review
- Reviewers check the pull request against the acceptance criteria the team agreed.
Hamster is an end-to-end workspace for you, your team and your agents.
Set a Goal. Hamster proposes strategies, you explore them, and the best become Initiatives and Briefs. Your agents deliver the Briefs in the cloud or in your IDE.
Hamster takes the wheel across Direction, Discovery, and Delivery, so you work at a higher level and attend to more at once. You move fast on your own and far with your team.
- Knowledge and Skills
- Defined once, used by every person and agent.
- Artifacts
- Blueprints, Briefs, and Plans hold what the team agreed.
- Routines and workflows
- Recurring work starts on a trigger and runs the same loops.
What Hamster knows grows while you work.
Every Brief, document, thread, vote, and decision joins the Context Graph as it happens, with who and when. Hamster reads it whenever it drafts, plans, or answers.
How the Context Graph works- One connected graph
- A Brief carries its Initiative, owner, documents, and threads, across GitHub, Linear, Slack, Figma, and Notion.
- Kept in order, over time
- Every version is kept, so Hamster can read any day and trace a decision to its thread.
- Thoughts that surface early
- When a Brief stalls, Hamster says so on the card, and what it is waiting on.
Your workspace arrives with Skills and workflows in place.
Bring your own from GitHub or files, and they run beside them.
