# How to create a new project

> Set up a context bucket for a stream of work.

Projects get created automatically or by asking Orbit. Agents create names `client-xyz` or`content-pipeline` — it groups related agent work and scopes the context agents read.

## Steps

1. Open **Projects** from your dashboard.
2. Click **New Project**.
3. Give it a clear, lowercase slug: `orbit-product`, `client-acme`, `q3-launch`.
4. Save. Agents can now file into this project.

## Point an agent at a project

Set an agent's **Project** field to the new slug. From then on, its outputs file into that project, and it reads the decisions and knowledge scoped to that project rather than your whole workspace.

## When to create a project vs. reuse one

* **New project:** a genuinely separate stream of work — a new client, a distinct product, a one-off launch.
* **Reuse:** ongoing work in an area you already track. Don't spin up `client-acme-2` when `client-acme` is the right home.
