Related Skills
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-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-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.
railway-domain
MetaThis Claude Skill manages domains for Railway services, allowing developers to add, view, or remove both Railway-provided and custom domains. It handles tasks like generating service URLs, checking current domains, and configuring DNS settings. The skill uses the railway-cli via Bash commands and is triggered when users ask about domain-related operations for their services.
