Related Claude Code Skills
Database
Add official Railway database services (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB). Use when user wants to add a database, says "add postgres", "add redis", "add database", "connect to database", or "wire up the database". For other templates (Ghost, Strapi, n8n), use the railway-templates skill.
Deploy
Deploy code to Railway using "railway up". Use when user wants to push code, says "railway up", "deploy", "ship", or "push". For initial setup or creating services, use railway-new skill. For Docker images, use railway-environment skill.
Service
Check service status, rename services, change service icons, link services, or create services with Docker images. For creating services with local code, prefer railway-new skill. For GitHub repo sources, use railway-new skill to create empty service then railway-environment skill to configure source.
Templates
Search and deploy services from Railway's template marketplace. Use when user wants to add a service from a template, find templates for a specific use case, or deploy tools like Ghost, Strapi, n8n, Minio, Uptime Kuma, etc. For databases (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB), prefer the railway-database skill.
Deployment
Manage Railway deployments - view logs, redeploy, restart, or remove deployments. Use for deployment lifecycle (remove, stop, redeploy, restart), deployment visibility (list, status, history), and troubleshooting (logs, errors, failures, crashes). NOT for deleting services - use railway-environment skill with isDeleted for that.
Environment
Query, stage, and apply configuration changes for Railway environments. Use for ANY variable or env var operations, service configuration (source, build settings, deploy settings), lifecycle (delete service), and applying changes. Prefer over railway-status skill for any configuration or variable queries.
