Project Management

The railway list --json output can be very large. Run in a subagent and return only essential fields:

railway list --json

Extract and return a simplified summary, not the full JSON.

List Workspaces

Returns user info including all workspaces the user belongs to.

Switch Project

Link a different project to the current directory:

railway link -p <project-id-or-name>

Or interactively:

After switching, use status skill to see project details.

Update Project

Get Project ID

railway status --json

Extract project.id from the response.
