Give your coding agent the context your team agreed on.
The Hamster CLI syncs Briefs, Plans, and shared product knowledge into your repository. Your coding agent can read that context and work with Hamster from the terminal.
The Free plan includes 10 Briefs a month. No card needed.
Let your agent work with the shared workspace.
Your agent can ask Hamster about assigned Briefs and request actions from the terminal. The workspace keeps the team’s requirements available alongside the coding session.
Keep the Plan available across coding tools.
Your team’s Briefs and Plans remain in Hamster while local context files make them available to your coding agent. Use the agent that fits the work with the same shared requirements.
Working with Hamster CLI
Local context files
The CLI writes project context into .hamster/ so your tools can read it from the repository.
Updates while you work
Use watch mode to keep the local context files in step with workspace changes.
MCP access
Compatible agents can read and update workspace information through the Hamster MCP server.
Local files when disconnected
Previously synced context remains readable offline; fetching updates and workspace actions require a connection.
Set up the CLI in your repository.
Install the CLI and authenticate with your workspace, then run hamster init in the repository. The setup guide covers configuration and watch mode.
