Project and application

Default (important)

Do not create an application “just because” you created or selected a project.

After tau select project
, stop unless taubyte-scope-routing
(and the user’s request) show that an application is actually needed.
Never run tau new application
unless one of the “Create or select an application” triggers below is true.

Log the decision (including “no application; project-level only”) in taubyte-context-log
.

When not to create or select an application

Stay at project context (no tau new application
, no tau select application
) when the work is any of:

Website only (create/import/push/configure site).
Library only.
Domain (or other global resources) only.
A single function or small function-only task without the user asking for separate apps, “multiple contexts,” or an explicit application boundary.
The user did not name an application and did not describe multiple applications or multi-context layouts.

In those cases, complete the task under project scope unless the CLI returns an error that clearly requires tau select application
—then reassess with the user rather than inventing a new app.

When to create or select an application

Do tau new application
/ tau select application
only when at least one of:

The user explicitly wants one or more named applications or a multi-app / multi-context project.
taubyte-scope-routing
marks the task as application-scoped (e.g. work that assumes an application context: service, database, storage, messaging, smartops, or a function explicitly tied to a chosen/named application).
You are about to run commands that require a selected application per tau --help
/ error output for that command.

If an application already exists and the user named it, use tau select application --name <app>
only—do not create a duplicate with new application
.

Steps

1. Verify context

bash

tau --json current

2. Create or select project only

bash

tau --defaults --yes new project --name <project> --description "<desc>" --private --no-embed-token
tau select project --name <project>

(Use tau select project
alone if the project already exists.)

3. Application — only if triggers above match

bash

tau --defaults --yes new application --name <app> --description "<desc>"
tau select application --name <app>

Skip this block entirely when “When not to create” applies.

4. Verify

bash

tau --json current

Record project and, if applicable, application (or none / global-only) in the context log.
