Document your team's processes, standards, and practices in one place — and put them to work across every Brief and plan.
Skills and Methods are two complementary ways to capture how your team works. Together they form a living Knowledge base that Hamster Studio draws on when it helps you write Briefs, generate Plans, and guide delivery.
Skills are individual capabilities or Task types — a focused ability like "User Interview" or "Code Review" that describes something your team knows how to do. Methods are broader processes or frameworks — structured approaches like "Agile Workflow" or "Go to Market Plan" that span multiple steps or documents. A skill can be associated with a Method, but it does not have to be. A Method can also bundle Routines, so one Method packages a whole way of working.
Both are organized by category, can be activated or deactivated at any time, and can come from Hamster's Library (enable a library Method to bring in its skills) or be created from scratch.
Select Methods in your workspace sidebar to open the Library. Use the header to move between the Library, which holds Hamster's pre-built Methods, and your workspace's own Methods, Skills, and Routines.
