lf init

Create a new LlamaFarm project and generate a validated llamafarm.yaml based on server templates.

Synopsis

lf init [path] [flags]

• path (optional) – directory where the project should be created (default: current directory).

Flags

Flag	Description
--namespace	Namespace to create the project in (defaults to default).
--template	Server-side template name (optional).
Global flags	--server-url, --debug, etc.

Behaviour

• Ensures the API server is reachable (auto-starts locally if needed).
• Creates the target directory (if missing) and writes llamafarm.yaml using the server’s project.config response.
• Fails if a LlamaFarm config already exists in the directory.

Example

lf init customer-support
cd customer-support
cat llamafarm.yaml

Output

Initializing a new LlamaFarm project in customer-support
Created project default/customer-support in /path/to/customer-support

If you see Error: Project already exists, remove or rename the directory before re-running.
