railway

Add an official Railway database to a project. Use when user wants to add Postgres, Redis, MySQL, or MongoDB. For other templates (Ghost, Strapi, n8n, etc.), use the templates skill.

Push code changes to Railway using `railway up`. Use when project is linked and user wants to push, deploy changes, or ship. For initial setup or creating services, use new skill. For Docker images, use environment skill.

Manage Railway service domains. Use when user wants to add a domain, generate a railway domain, check current domains, or remove a domain.

Manage Railway environments. Use when user wants to create new environments, switch environments, check config, get service configuration, view service settings, compare services, set variables, change build/start commands, add/update/scale replicas, configure health checks, change Docker image, connect GitHub repos, delete services/volumes/buckets, or apply/deploy staged changes. Also use for: "add N replicas", "scale up/down", "set replicas to N", "horizontal scaling". Prefer this skill over `railway service --json` for querying service configuration.

Get service metrics (CPU, memory, network, disk). Use when user asks about resource usage, performance, or how a service is performing.

Set up and deploy to Railway. Use when user says "setup", "deploy to railway", "initialize", "create project/service/database", "add postgres/redis/mysql/mongo", "connect to database", or deploy from GitHub. Handles initial setup AND adding services to existing projects.

Manage existing Railway services. Use for checking service status, renaming services, changing icons, linking services, or advanced service creation (Docker images). For creating services with local code, prefer the `new` skill. For GitHub repo sources, use `new` skill to create empty service then `environment` skill to configure source.

Check Railway project status. Use when user asks about Railway, deployments, services, environments, or before any Railway operation like deploying or updating services.

Search, browse, and deploy Railway templates. Use when user wants to add a service from a template, find templates for a specific use case, deploy a database (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB), or add tools like Ghost, Strapi, n8n, Minio, etc.
