Manage Projects from the CLI and scope other commands to a specific project.

​
Scoping commands to a project

Use the global --project flag (or the KERNEL_PROJECT environment variable) to scope any kernel command to a project. The flag accepts either a project ID or a project name — names are resolved case-insensitively by listing your projects. 
# Scope a single command by name
kernel browsers list --project staging

# Scope by ID
kernel browsers list --project proj_abc123

# Scope via environment variable
export KERNEL_PROJECT=staging
kernel apps list
Under the hood, the flag adds the X-Kernel-Project-Id header to every authenticated API request. OAuth-based logins (kernel login) remain org-wide by default, so this is the recommended way to target a single project when logged in with OAuth.
Project-scoped API keys are already bound to a project server-side, so you don’t need --project when using them — but if you do pass it, it must match the key’s project or the request is rejected.
If the name is ambiguous (multiple projects share it) or no match is found, the CLI returns a clear error; pass the project ID instead.

​
Commands

​
kernel projects list

List all projects in the authenticated organization.

​
kernel projects create <name>

Create a new project with the given name. 
kernel projects create staging

​
kernel projects get <id-or-name>

Show details for a project by ID or name.

​
kernel projects delete <id-or-name>

Delete a project. The project must be empty, and it can’t be the last active project in the org.

​
Project limits

Each project can have its own concurrency limit overrides that cap resource use below the org-wide limits.

​
kernel projects limits get <id-or-name>

Show the per-project limit overrides. Fields show unlimited when no project-level cap is set (the org limit applies).
FlagDescription
--output json, -o jsonOutput raw JSON object.

​
kernel projects limits set <id-or-name>

Update per-project limit overrides. Pass 0 to a limit to remove the cap for that field.
FlagDescription
--max-concurrent-sessions <n>Maximum concurrent browser sessions (0 to remove cap).
--max-concurrent-invocations <n>Maximum concurrent app invocations (0 to remove cap).
--max-pooled-sessions <n>Maximum pooled sessions capacity (0 to remove cap).
--output json, -o jsonOutput raw JSON object.
# Cap staging to 5 concurrent browser sessions
kernel projects limits set staging --max-concurrent-sessions 5

# Remove the cap
kernel projects limits set staging --max-concurrent-sessions 0
