App

Initializes EB projects and manages Elastic Beanstalk applications, application versions, and version lifecycle rules. Use when user says "eb init", "eb appversion", "application versions", "version lifecycle", "list applications", "delete version", "initialize project", "create beanstalk app", "new eb application", or "my beanstalk apps". For environment operations use environment skill. Use when this capability is needed.

File contents

Application Management

Initialize projects, manage application versions, and configure version lifecycle using the EB CLI.

When to Use

Initialize an EB project (eb init)
List applications
Manage application versions
Configure version lifecycle rules

When NOT to Use

Managing environments → use environment skill
Deploying code → use deploy skill
Checking status → use status skill

Initialize

eb init
eb init <app-name> --region <region> --platform "<platform>"

List Applications

aws elasticbeanstalk describe-applications \
  --query 'Applications[*].[ApplicationName,DateCreated]' --output table

Application Versions

eb appversion                            # List versions
eb appversion --delete <version-label>   # Delete version

Version Lifecycle

eb appversion lifecycle                  # Configure lifecycle rules

Or via AWS CLI:

aws elasticbeanstalk update-application-resource-lifecycle \
  --application-name <app-name> \
  --resource-lifecycle-config '{
    "VersionLifecycleConfig": {
      "MaxCountRule": {"Enabled": true, "MaxCount": 200, "DeleteSourceFromS3": true},
      "MaxAgeRule": {"Enabled": true, "MaxAgeInDays": 180, "DeleteSourceFromS3": true}
    },
    "ServiceRole": "arn:aws:iam::<account>:role/aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role"
  }' --output json

.elasticbeanstalk/config.yml

eb init creates .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml in your project root. This file stores:

Default application name and region
Default environment
Platform and branch settings

# .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml (auto-generated by eb init)
branch-defaults:
  main:
    environment: my-app-prod
global:
  application_name: my-app
  default_region: us-east-1
  default_platform: Node.js 22

Add .elasticbeanstalk/ to .gitignore if it contains environment-specific settings, or commit it for shared CI/CD workflows.

Composability

Create environment: Use environment skill
Deploy code: Use deploy skill
Platform updates: Use maintenance skill
