Deploy code to Railway using "railway up". Use when user wants to push code, says "railway up", "deploy", "ship", or "push". For initial setup or creating services, use railway-new skill. For Docker images, use railway-environment skill.

Deploy code from the current directory to Railway using railway up.
Starts deploy and returns immediately. Use for most deploys.
railway up --detach
Streams build logs until complete. Use when user wants to watch the build or needs to debug issues.
railway up --ci
When to use CI mode:
Default is linked service. To deploy to a different service:
railway up --detach --service backend
Deploy to a project without linking first:
railway up --project <project-id> --environment production --detach
Requires both --project and --environment flags.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-d, --detach | Don't attach to logs (default) |
-c, --ci | Stream build logs, exit when done |
-s, --service <NAME> | Target service (defaults to linked) |
-e, --environment <NAME> | Target environment (defaults to linked) |
-p, --project <ID> | Target project (requires --environment) |
[PATH] | Path to deploy (defaults to current directory) |
Railway CLI walks UP the directory tree to find a linked project. If you're in a subdirectory of a linked project, you don't need to relink.
For subdirectory deployments, prefer setting rootDirectory via the railway-environment skill, then deploy normally with railway up.
Deploying to <service>...
Use railway-deployment skill to check build status (with --lines flag).
Build logs stream inline. If build fails, the error will be in the output.
Do NOT run railway logs --build after CI mode - the logs already streamed. If you need
more context, use railway-deployment skill with --lines flag (never stream).
No Railway project linked. Run `railway link` first.
No service linked. Use --service flag or run `railway service` to select one.
The build logs already streamed - analyze them directly from the railway up --ci output.
Do NOT run railway logs after CI mode (it streams forever without --lines).
Common issues:
Fill any PDF locally and place each value precisely in a visual editor. Use when the user wants to fill out a PDF form, enter data into a PDF, complete a tax/insurance/bank form, or position text on a flat/scanned PDF. Handles flat (field-less) PDFs, per-character (comb) fields, and native AcroForm fields; leaves the signature blank for the user to sign.
Automated Android CI/CD pipeline to Google Play — supports TWA, React Native, Flutter, and native Android. Run npx android-cicd to set up keystore generation, GitHub Secrets, and a multi-stage workflow (internal/alpha/beta/production) with auto-bump versionCode.
Use this skill whenever a developer wants to turn an idea into a complete, production-ready, end-to-end system plan BEFORE writing any code. Trigger on 'plan this system', 'design the architecture for', 'help me blueprint', 'deep plan for X', 'break this idea into components', 'expand into action points', 'full implementation plan', or when the user pastes a project idea wanting architecture, components, pipelines, and file-level execution mapped out. Casual phrasing also triggers: 'help me think this through end-to-end', 'plan before coding'. Also covers living-workspace patterns: self-improving knowledge bases, reflection loops with auditor agents, four-agent teams, schema-as-code, wiki health scoring. **Resume triggers**: 'where did we leave off', 'continue this plan', 'resume my blueprint' - rehydrates state from disk via SESSION.md/NEXT.md/decisions/. Web research is mandatory every invocation.
Use when adding a blog to a Next.js + Sanity site, building a blog section from scratch, integrating Sanity CMS for editorial content, or setting up an SEO-optimized article surface. Triggers on phrases like 'add a blog', 'build the blog', 'create blog section', 'set up blog with Sanity', 'integrate Sanity CMS', 'blog architecture', or any new-blog scoping conversation on a Next.js project.
Creates comprehensive handoff documents for seamless AI agent session transfers. Triggered when: (1) user requests handoff/memory/context save, (2) context window approaches capacity, (3) major task milestone completed, (4) work session ending, (5) user says 'save state', 'create handoff', 'I need to pause', 'context is getting full', (6) resuming work with 'load handoff', 'resume from', 'continue where we left off'. Proactively suggests handoffs after substantial work (multiple file edits, complex debugging, architecture decisions). Solves long-running agent context exhaustion by enabling fresh agents to continue with zero ambiguity.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
