# Projects

> The platform-level container that owns your Systems.

A **project** is the platform-level container for one or more deployed Systems owned by a single account. Create one when you first `uniac link` (or via the dashboard).

A project has:

* A user-facing **name**, unique within your account.
* An opaque, globally-unique **slug** assigned at creation. The slug is the stable identifier in URLs, manifest references, and Platform API calls.

The project URL pattern is `https://{slug}.project.uniac.ai`; each Service within it gets its own [endpoint](/concepts/endpoints) under `https://{endpoint-id}.svc.uniac.ai`.

## Binding a local package to a project

```bash theme={null}
uniac link            # bind for production deploys → .uniac/deploy.json
uniac link --dev      # bind to a local dev stack → .uniac/deploy.dev.json
```

Both files are project-local and gitignored by default — they record the slug, not a name, so renames don't break them.
