I would say wrap over it with some tooling that uses createOrSelectStack: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/automation/#LocalWorkspace-createOrSelectStack>

If you need to do it in the shell, `pulumi stack select -s &lt;stack&gt;` will return non-zero if it can't select the stack. Check for non-zero and init as needed.
