description	Use the Stripe Projects CLI in this repository to manage deploying and access to third party services.

Stripe Projects CLI

This repository is initialized for the Stripe project "debo".

Workflow

0. Run stripe projects llm-context to get the LLM context for the project.
1. Start with stripe projects status or stripe projects show to inspect the current project, linked providers, and named resources.
2. Use stripe projects catalog or stripe projects services to browse available providers and services. When you know the provider, run stripe projects catalog <provider> --json or stripe projects catalog <provider> and copy the exact <provider>/<service> slug from the output.
3. Provision a resource with stripe projects add <provider>/<service>. Do not guess the stripe projects add argument. Run stripe projects catalog <provider> --json or stripe projects catalog <provider> and copy the exact <provider>/<service> slug before you run stripe projects add. Example: stripe projects add databaseco/postgres --name primary-db. Use --name <resource> to control the local resource name used by future resource commands and environment variable prefixes. If you omit --name, the CLI uses the provider/service default for the local resource name. When a service config field looks like a name, the CLI uses the current project name as the default value when that satisfies the field schema. Use --config '<json>' when the service requires configuration.
4. Review credentials with stripe projects env. Values are redacted by default, and you can use stripe projects env --pull to write them to local files.

Optional notes

• If necessary, you can also link a provider with stripe projects link <provider> directly. But stripe projects add <provider>/<service> will guide you through provider authentication when needed.

Working Agreement

• Commands can be run from the project root or nested directories inside the project.
• Do not hand-edit CLI-managed files under .projects or the generated .env output.
• NEVER look at any files in the .projects directory. The CLI manages everything for you.
• NEVER look at the .env file. The CLI manages everything for you.

Agent mode

• You can use the --json flag when structured output will make follow-up steps easier.
• When you need to build a provisioning command programmatically, prefer stripe projects catalog <provider> --json so you can copy the exact <provider>/<service> slug without guessing.
• Use --no-interactive to disable prompts across commands. When you do, pass fully specified arguments and companion flags like --yes or --accept-tos when the command requires confirmation.

Full command reference

• stripe projects status — view project, providers, and services
• stripe projects catalog [provider] — browse available services (optionally for one provider) and copy exact provider/service slugs
• stripe projects add <provider>/<service> — provision a service
• stripe projects add databaseco/postgres --name primary-db — example add command you can copy and adapt
  • --name <resource> — custom local resource name for future commands and env var prefixes
  • --config '<json>' — service configuration that can be passed with projects add
  • --provider-config '<json>' — provider link configuration (e.g. region)
  • --force-provider-relink — force a fresh provider link request during add
• stripe projects add @database — browse services by category (interactive only)
• stripe projects remove <resource> — remove a provisioned resource
• stripe projects rotate <resource> — rotate credentials for a resource
• stripe projects upgrade <resource> — change a resource's service tier
• stripe projects open <provider> — open provider dashboard in browser
• stripe projects link <provider> — link/re-link a provider
• stripe projects link <provider> --force — force a fresh provider re-link request
• stripe projects env — list credentials (redacted)
• stripe projects env --pull — fetch credentials and write them to .env files
• stripe projects llm-context — get provider-specific LLM guidance
• stripe projects billing show — view billing method
• stripe projects billing add — add or update billing method

Billing

If you need to deploy paid services, use stripe projects billing add to configure payment, or stripe projects billing show to view your current method.

Deployment

If you get asked to deploy your project, copy the following files to the remote host into the project root:

• .env file
• .projects/state.json
• .projects/state.local.json

Deploying a project might require to provision a provider that offers compute or hosting, and you may need to download their CLI.

Troubleshooting

• If a command fails, run stripe projects status --json to understand the current state.
• If a provider shows status PENDING_AUTH or EXPIRED, run stripe projects link <provider> to re-authenticate. Add --force if you need a fresh re-link request regardless of local state.
• If credentials seem stale, run stripe projects rotate <resource> then stripe projects env --pull.
