Setup (check before using)

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/check_setup.rb

If the output is OK, proceed to the Flow section.

If the output is SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user step by step. Present ONE step at a time, wait for the user to confirm before moving to the next.

Step 1 — Ask the user to create an API token:

You need a Railway API token.

Go to https://railway.com/account/tokens

Click Create Token

Give it a name (e.g. "hitank") and choose the scope

Copy the token

Paste the token here.

Step 2 — When the user pastes the token, save it:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/save_token.rb 'PASTED_TOKEN'

If the script outputs an error, the token is invalid. Ask the user to double-check and try again.

If setup is not complete, DO NOT proceed to the Flow. Complete all steps first.

Flow

The argument $ARGUMENTS may contain a project name or service reference.

Step 1: List projects

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/projects.rb

Present the projects. If $ARGUMENTS matches a project name, use it. Otherwise ask which project to work with.

Step 2: Show project details

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/project.rb PROJECT_ID

Present the project with its services and environments. Ask what the user wants to do.

Step 3: Actions

List services (included in project details):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/services.rb PROJECT_ID

Get service details:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/service.rb SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID

Create a service (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_service.rb PROJECT_ID "Service Name"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_service.rb PROJECT_ID "Service Name" --repo "user/repo" --branch "main"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_service.rb PROJECT_ID "Service Name" --image "redis:latest"

Delete a service (requires user confirmation):

Show the service first, then ask: "Do you want to delete this service and all its deployments?" Only execute after a "yes".

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_service.rb SERVICE_ID

List deployments:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/deployments.rb PROJECT_ID SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/deployments.rb PROJECT_ID SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID --limit 10

Get deployment details:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/deployment.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID

Trigger a deployment (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/deploy.rb SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID

Redeploy (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/redeploy.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID

Rollback (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/rollback.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID

Stop a deployment (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/stop_deployment.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID

Get logs:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/logs.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/logs.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID --type build --limit 200
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/logs.rb DEPLOYMENT_ID --type runtime --limit 100

List environments:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/environments.rb PROJECT_ID

Create an environment (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_environment.rb PROJECT_ID "staging"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_environment.rb PROJECT_ID "preview" --ephemeral

Delete an environment (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_environment.rb ENVIRONMENT_ID

List variables:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/variables.rb PROJECT_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID SERVICE_ID

Set a variable (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/set_variable.rb PROJECT_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID SERVICE_ID "KEY" "VALUE"

Delete a variable (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_variable.rb PROJECT_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID SERVICE_ID "KEY"

List domains:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/domains.rb PROJECT_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID SERVICE_ID

Create a Railway domain (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_domain.rb SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_domain.rb SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID --port 8080

Add a custom domain (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_custom_domain.rb SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID "app.example.com"

Delete a domain (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_domain.rb DOMAIN_ID --type service
ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_domain.rb DOMAIN_ID --type custom

List volumes:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/volumes.rb PROJECT_ID

Create a volume (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/create_volume.rb PROJECT_ID SERVICE_ID ENVIRONMENT_ID --path "/data"

Delete a volume (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/delete_volume.rb VOLUME_ID

List available regions:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/railway/scripts/regions.rb
