# Railway Status Check the current Railway project status for this directory. ## When to Use - User asks about Railway status, project, services, or deployments - User mentions deploying or pushing to Railway - Before any Railway operation (deploy, update service, add variables) - User asks about environments or domains ## When NOT to Use Use the railway-environment skill instead when user wants: - Detailed service configuration (builder type, dockerfile path, build command, root directory) - Deploy config (start command, restart policy, healthchecks, predeploy command) - Service source (repo, branch, image) - Compare service configs - Query or change environment variables ## Check Status Run: ```bash railway status --json ``` First verify CLI is installed: ```bash command -v railway ``` ## Handling Errors ### CLI Not Installed If `command -v railway` fails: > Railway CLI is not installed. Install with: > ``` > npm install -g @railway/cli > ``` > or > ``` > brew install railway > ``` > Then authenticate: `railway login` ### Not Authenticated If `railway whoami` fails: > Not logged in to Railway. Run: > ``` > railway login > ``` ### No Project Linked If status returns "No linked project": > No Railway project linked to this directory. > > To link an existing project: `railway link` > To create a new project: `railway init` ## Presenting Status Parse the JSON and present: - **Project**: name and workspace - **Environment**: current environment (production, staging, etc.) - **Services**: list with deployment status - **Active Deployments**: any in-progress deployments (from `activeDeployments` field) - **Domains**: any configured domains Example output format: ``` Project: my-app (workspace: my-team) Environment: production Services: - web: deployed (https://my-app.up.railway.app) - api: deploying (build in progress) - postgres: running ``` The `activeDeployments` array on each service shows currently running deployments with their status (building, deploying, etc.). --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io) | [Claim this content](https://tomevault.io/claim/davila7/claude-code-templates) <!-- tomevault:2.0:skill_md:2026-04-05 -->
