Use Railway

This handles the full Railway platform from the command line: spin up services and databases, manage deployments across environments, configure variables, troubleshoot build failures, work with S3-compatible object storage buckets, and pull logs or metrics. It knows Railway's hierarchy (workspaces, projects, environments, services) and can parse dashboard URLs to extract the right IDs. The skill wraps both deterministic CLI commands and the newer Railway Agent for natural language queries. Useful when you're wiring up infrastructure, debugging a crashed service, or need to provision a Postgres instance without leaving your editor. It prefixes commands with telemetry tags and handles context switching so you don't accidentally deploy to the wrong environment.

Railway resource model

Railway organizes infrastructure in a hierarchy:

Workspace is the billing and team scope. A user belongs to one or more workspaces.
Project is a collection of services under one workspace. It maps to one deployable unit of work.
Environment is an isolated configuration plane inside a project (for example, production, staging). Each environment has its own variables, config, and deployment history.
Service is a single deployable unit inside a project. It can be an app from a repo, a Docker image, or a managed database.
Bucket is an S3-compatible object storage resource inside a project. Buckets are created at the project level and deployed to environments. Each bucket has credentials (endpoint, access key, secret key) for S3-compatible access.
Deployment is a point-in-time release of a service in an environment. It has build logs, runtime logs, and a status lifecycle.

Most CLI commands operate on the linked project/environment/service context. Use railway status --json to see the context, and --project, --environment, --service flags to override.
