Related Skills
railway-database
MetaThis skill adds official Railway database services (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB) with pre-configured volumes and connection variables. Use it when developers request to add, connect, or wire up databases in their Railway projects. It specifically handles database services while directing other templates to the separate railway-templates skill.
railway-deployment
MetaThis Claude Skill manages Railway deployments for lifecycle operations and troubleshooting. It enables developers to view logs, redeploy, restart, or remove deployments through Railway CLI commands. Use it for deployment visibility and debugging, but note that deleting services requires the railway-environment skill instead.
railway-new
MetaThis skill creates and configures Railway projects and services, handling both initial setup and adding services to existing projects. It triggers when users mention deployment, initialization, or GitHub linking to Railway. Use it for infrastructure scaffolding, but employ a separate skill specifically for database creation.
railway-status
MetaThis skill checks the current deployment status and uptime of Railway projects in the current directory. It's triggered by queries like "railway status," "what's deployed," or questions about deployment status and uptime. Use the separate railway-environment skill for configuration or variable queries instead.
