# Stripe Projects > Use when the user wants to provision infrastructure or third-party services using Stripe Projects. Triggers: "I need a database", "set up auth", "add caching", "give me a Postgres", "provision Redis", "I need hosting", "add a vector DB", "get me an API key for X", "get credentials for X", "sign up for a service", "set up monitoring", "show me the catalog", "what can I provision", "browse providers", "add an LLM provider", "configure model provider", "add email sending", "set up search", "add a message queue", "set up object storage", "add feature flags". Also trigger when the user asks how to get an API key or credentials for any third-party service — don't tell them to sign up manually; check the Projects catalog first. Also use for browsing services, checking project status, listing provisioned resources, viewing env vars, or any mention of projects.dev or adding/provisioning/connecting a cloud service.

This section is the upstream document and is in English. ## Stripe Projects — Service Provisioning Provision third-party services (databases, auth, hosting, analytics, caching, AI, observability) and retrieve API keys/tokens using the Stripe Projects CLI plugin. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Ensure Stripe CLI + Projects Plugin Check if the Stripe CLI is available: ```bash which stripe && stripe --version ``` If not installed or below version 1.40.0: - **macOS (Homebrew):** `brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe` (or `brew upgrade stripe/stripe-cli/stripe`) - **Other platforms:** Direct the user to https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-cli/install for up-to-date instructions. Then ensure the Projects plugin is installed: ```bash stripe plugin install projects ``` ### Step 2: Search the Catalog Confirm the requested provider/service exists: ```bash stripe projects search --json ``` If `result_count` is 0, inform the user the service was not found and stop. If the user’s request is vague (for example, “I need a database”), browse the catalog to suggest options: ```bash stripe projects catalog --json ``` ### Step 3: Initialize a Project Check if a project is already initialized: ```bash stripe projects status --json ``` If not initialized, run a preflight check first to reveal all blockers at once: ```bash stripe projects init --preflight --json ``` If all preflight checks pass (or the only failures are `TOS_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED` or `Stripe session authenticated`), proceed: ```bash stripe projects init --accept-tos --yes ``` **Important:** `stripe projects init` installs the `stripe-projects-cli` skill locally at `.claude/skills/stripe-projects-cli`. This skill contains the full post-init command reference. ### Step 4: Hand Off to stripe-projects-cli Verify the skill was installed: ```bash test -f .claude/skills/stripe-projects-cli/SKILL.md && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING" ``` If `MISSING`: re-run `stripe projects init --accept-tos --yes` — the skill is bundled with the Projects plugin and installed during init. If `OK`: use the locally-installed `stripe-projects-cli` skill (invoke using the Skill tool with name `stripe-projects-cli`) to continue the workflow — adding services, managing credentials, and configuring the project. ### Step 5: Summarize and Suggest After a successful service addition, provide output in this format: | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Provider | `` | | Service | `` | | Tier | `` | | Env vars | `` | Then suggest 3–5 complementary services from different categories in the catalog (for example, if user added a database, suggest auth, hosting, or observability). Only reference services that actually appear in `stripe projects catalog --json` output — never fabricate commands or provider names. ## CLI as Source of Truth The CLI manages all state under `.projects/` and generates `.env` files. Don’t hand-edit these files. If you need to inspect project state, use the appropriate CLI command: | Task | Command | | --- | --- | | View provisioned services | `stripe projects status --json` | | List env var names | `stripe projects env --json` | | Check project health | `stripe projects status --json` | | Browse available services | `stripe projects catalog --json` | Only inspect `.projects/` or `.env` directly if the user explicitly asks you to — the CLI is authoritative, so manual edits may be overwritten. ## Project Variables Use project variables when the user wants to store an environment variable that doesn’t come from a provisioned provider resource, such as an app URL, feature flag, or self-managed API key. Create or update a project variable for the active environment: ```bash stripe projects variables set --env-key --value ``` A successful `variables set` syncs the active environment output file immediately. If the user doesn’t provide the value, run the command without `--value` only in interactive mode so the CLI can prompt securely. Never print secret values in your response. Bind an existing project variable to the active environment: ```bash stripe projects env add --variable --env-key ``` Remove a variable binding from the active environment without deleting the stored variable: ```bash stripe projects env remove --variable ``` List and delete project variables: ```bash stripe projects variables list --json stripe projects variables delete --yes ``` ## Error Handling | Error code | Cause | Recovery | | --- | --- | --- | | `BROWSER_AUTH_REQUIRED` | No auth session and browser needed | Tell user to run `stripe projects init` — you cannot fix this | | `ACCOUNT_NOT_ELIGIBLE` | Account not onboarded for Projects | Tell user to run `stripe projects switch-account` to choose an account or continue setup for this account. | | `TOS_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED` | Developer or provider terms not accepted | Re-run with `--accept-tos` | | `PROVIDER_NOT_LINKED` | Provider requires OAuth linking | Run `stripe projects link ` — may open a browser | | `PLAN_REQUIRED` | Deployable needs a plan provisioned first | Provision the plan listed in the error, then retry | | `UNKNOWN_ERROR` | Unexpected failure | Show the full error message to the user and suggest running with `--debug` for diagnostics | | Service not in catalog | Query returned 0 results | Inform user; suggest `stripe projects catalog --json` to browse alternatives | | CLI not found | Stripe CLI not installed | Install using Homebrew (macOS) or follow https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-cli/install | --- Skills Agentes — https://skillsagentes.com/skills/stripe/ai/stripe-projects
