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.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
14 rules. 7 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
7
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Common: line 34
Check if the Stripe CLI is available:

If not installed or below version 1.40.0:

Check if a project is already initialized:

If all preflight checks pass, or the only failure is TOS_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED, proceed:

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
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:
which stripe && stripe --versionIf not installed or below version 1.40.0:
- macOS (Homebrew):
brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe(orbrew 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:
stripe plugin install projectsStep 2: Search the Catalog
Confirm the requested provider/service exists:
stripe projects search <query> --jsonIf 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:
stripe projects catalog --jsonStep 3: Initialize a Project
Check if a project is already initialized:
stripe projects status --jsonIf not initialized, run a preflight check first to reveal all blockers at once:
stripe projects init --preflight --jsonIf all preflight checks pass, or the only failure is TOS_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED, proceed:
stripe projects init --accept-tos --yesIf any check fails with BROWSER_AUTH_REQUIRED, PROJECTS_SESSION_UNUSABLE, or ACCOUNT_NOT_ELIGIBLE, stop here. Report that check’s message and remedy to the user verbatim and let them resolve it — clearing these requires a browser sign-in or a Dashboard visit you cannot perform. Do not run stripe projects init yourself and do not re-run the preflight: neither clears the blocker for you, since only the user can complete a browser sign-in or a Dashboard step.
Follow the remedy the failing check prints rather than assuming stripe login is the fix. If a Stripe CLI session already exists, stripe login reports that you are already logged in and exits 0 without changing anything — an exit code of 0 from a login command does not mean the blocker cleared.
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:
test -f .claude/skills/stripe-projects-cli/SKILL.md && echo "OK" || echo "MISSING"If MISSING: re-run stripe projects init --accept-tos --yes once — the skill is bundled with the Projects plugin and installed during init. If the file is still missing after that single retry, or if init exits non-zero, report init’s error message to the user and stop. Do not keep re-running 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 | <provider name> |
| Service | <service type> |
| Tier | <tier> |
| Env vars | <variable names only — never values> |
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:
stripe projects variables set <name> --env-key <ENV_KEY> --value <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:
stripe projects env add <name> --variable --env-key <ENV_KEY>Remove a variable binding from the active environment without deleting the stored variable:
stripe projects env remove <name> --variableList and delete project variables:
stripe projects variables list --json
stripe projects variables delete <name> --yesError Handling
| Error code | Cause | Recovery |
BROWSER_AUTH_REQUIRED | No Stripe session and browser sign-in needed | Tell the user to run stripe projects init themselves, in a terminal where they can finish the browser sign-in — you cannot fix this, and re-running it yourself will not clear it |
PROJECTS_SESSION_UNUSABLE | A Stripe CLI session exists, but Projects cannot read live-mode credentials from it | Report the message and remedy verbatim and stop. Do NOT retry, and do NOT run stripe login — it reports you are already logged in and exits 0 |
ACCOUNT_NOT_ELIGIBLE | Account not onboarded for Projects | Tell the user to run stripe projects switch-account to choose an account, or continue setup for this account; report the remedy the CLI printed and stop |
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 <provider> — 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 |
