It's `x'. But I think Julian meant that the buffers should be closed
automatically and not open at least as long as the agenda is shown.

For the original issue I think the following would help:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun project-agenda (&optional args keys restriction)
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-agenda-files '("~/project-file1"
                            "~/project-file2")))
    (org-agenda args keys restriction)))
#+end_src

Or pressing `<' in the prompt buffer, for more see (describe-function
'org-agenda)
