Does this skill require the Railway CLI to be installed?

Yes, the Railway CLI must be installed and authenticated on your local machine for this skill to execute commands effectively.

How does it handle dependencies between services?

It supports 'reference variables,' allowing one service to dynamically use values from another, such as a frontend service referencing a backend's public URL.

Can I manage secrets securely with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill supports 'sealed variables' which are encrypted and cannot be viewed once set, providing high-level security for production secrets.

Can I use this to set up databases?

Yes, you can quickly add service templates like PostgreSQL, Redis, or MongoDB directly to your Railway project using standard CLI workflows.

Does it support PR-specific environments?

Yes, it provides workflows to enable and manage ephemeral environments that automatically deploy when you open a pull request, allowing for isolated testing.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the configuration and management of Railway.com infrastructure including projects, services, and environments via the Railway CLI.

About

This skill streamlines the entire lifecycle of Railway.com infrastructure management directly through Claude. It enables developers to initialize projects, spin up environments such as staging or production, and manage service configurations with ease. By handling complex variable scoping—including shared, reference, and high-security sealed variables—this skill ensures robust environment parity and secure secret management. It is particularly useful for DevOps workflows, full-stack deployments, and teams looking to automate their Railway infrastructure setup without leaving their coding environment.
