Creating Taubyte Resources
When to use
- "Add a domain / website / library / function / database / storage / messaging / service"
- "Create an application for app-scoped resources"
- Building out a project after
bootstrapping-taubyte-projects - Reviewing or scripting non-interactive resource creation
Intent-first resource planning (agent behavior)
When a user asks to "create an app" (not just a resource), first infer the minimum Taubyte resource set required to make that app real, then create those resources with correct scope + wiring.
General heuristics:
- Web app UI → create a website (project-scoped if needed or mentioned) + a domain (project-scoped if mentioned) and attach the site to the domain and path(s).
- Persistent data → create a database (application-scoped if needed). create storage if needed ; choose only when implied by the intent.
- UI ↔ data/API glue → create at least one HTTP function that reads/writes the database and returns JSON for the website to consume. Attach the function to the same domain when a same-origin
/api/...pattern is implied.

verifying-taubyte-functions
Verifies a Taubyte Go function locally via the `taubyte/go-wasi` Docker recipe (preferred over `tau build`, with tmpfs+bind-mount-ro to avoid root-owned artifacts in the source tree), and verifies a function actually serves on Dream by curling the gateway with the right `Host:` header (plus `/etc/hosts` mapping for `*.localtau`). Use when locally compiling a Go function to WASM, when smoke-testing a function before pushing, or when probing a Dream-hosted HTTP function from the laptop.
13diagnosing-dream-builds
Diagnoses Dream local-cloud builds when `tau list/query builds` is empty or unreliable, by hitting the jobs HTTP endpoint directly (`GET /jobs/<project_id>`, `GET /job/<job_id>`) using the GitHub token from `~/tau.yaml`, then downloading logs with `tau query logs --jid`. Use when Dream builds appear silent, the build table is empty after `dream inject`, or you need raw job ids and logs for a failing build.
12installing-taubyte-tooling
Installs and verifies the prerequisites for any Taubyte workflow — Node.js, Docker (engine + running daemon), `@taubyte/cli` (the `tau` command), and `@taubyte/dream` (the `dream` command). Acts as a hard gate that runs before every other Taubyte skill, with OS-specific automated installs (winget / brew / apt-get) and explicit stop conditions when an install fails. Use on first-time machine setup, when `tau` or `dream` is missing or broken, when `docker info` fails, or when starting a fresh shell and you don't know if the toolchain is ready.
12pushing-taubyte-projects
Pushes Taubyte project changes via `tau push` — `tau push project [--config-only|--code-only]`, `tau push website <name>`, and `tau push library <name>` — with the rule that `--message` is required when `--defaults` is set, and the push-config-before-code ordering for resource-dependent changes. Also explains the `tau pull` "already up-to-date" non-zero-exit quirk. Use when pushing local changes to GitHub through `tau` (instead of raw `git push`), or when triggering remote-cloud webhooks / Dream injects after edits.
12starting-dream-locally
Starts a Dream local Taubyte cloud (multiverse) using either the newer `dream start` workflow or the older `dream new multiverse` workflow, and explains the default universe naming (`default` for `dream start`, `blackhole` for `dream new multiverse`). Use when bringing up, restarting, or daemonizing a local Dream cloud, or when `dream --help` shows a different shape than expected.
12understanding-taubyte-architecture
Explains the Taubyte mental model — `tau` CLI vs `dream` local cloud, remote-vs-local cloud types, GitHub as the single source of truth, and the config/code/website/library repo layout that drives builds. Use when the user asks how Taubyte fits together, why pushes don't show up, what repos are needed, or whether to use Dream or a remote cloud.
