 ### Use `-p` to specify a project name
 
-Each configuration has a project name. If you supply a `-p` flag, you can specify a project name. If you don’t
-specify the flag, Compose uses the current directory name.
-Project name can also be set by `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` environment variable.
-
-Many Compose subcommands can be run without a Compose file by passing
-the project name.
+Each configuration has a project name. Compose sets the project name using
+the following mechanisms, in order of precedence:
+- The `-p` command line flag
+- The `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` environment variable
+- The top level `name:` variable from the config file (or the last `name:`
+from a series of config files specified using `-f`)
+- The `basename` of the project directory containing the config file (or
+containing the first config file specified using `-f`)
+- The `basename` of the current directory if no config file is specified
+Project names must contain only lowercase letters, decimal digits, dashes,
+and underscores, and must begin with a lowercase letter or decimal digit. If
+the `basename` of the project directory or current directory violates this
+constraint, you must use one of the other mechanisms.
