# Create project

`POST /projects`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1/projects`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `/api/v1/oauth/authorize`
    - Token URL: `/api/v1/oauth/token` scopes: `policy:draft`

  - API key in cookie `__Secure-cave_identity.session_token`

POST /api/v1/projects on the Caveman Cloud control plane. Requires the policy:draft scope. Not exposed to autonomous agents: Creates a new tenant container. A project-scoped connection is bound to one project and cannot create siblings; keeping this human-only makes that bound explicit rather than incidental.

## Request body

  - `name` string, required
  - `slug` string
