What it does

Railway is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write Railway: list projects and deployments, set environment variables, redeploy. Trigger phrases: railway, deploy.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/railway.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and Secrets management. It works with Railway and GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: railway
  • Tasks that involve Deployment
  • Tasks that involve Secrets management

Example prompts

  • “/railway”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. set-var and redeploy are writes: confirm the project, environment, variable name, and value with the user before running, unless standing…
  2. Reading (projects, deployments) needs no confirmation.
  3. The GraphQL schema evolves over time: treat field names as best-effort and prefer introspection over hardcoding if a query fails; the CLI…
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Railway loads about 661 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~661

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Railway

Purpose

Read and write the user's Railway infrastructure through the Railway GraphQL API: list projects, inspect a project, list deployments, set environment variables, and redeploy deployments. Use when the user mentions Railway or deployments they host there.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/railway.py:

bash
bin/railway.py auth                                      # verify the token
bin/railway.py projects                                  # list projects (id, name)
bin/railway.py project --id proj_abc123                  # inspect one project
bin/railway.py deployments --project-id proj_abc123      # list deployments for a project
bin/railway.py set-var --project-id proj_abc123 --env-id env_xyz --name FOO --value bar  # set an env var (confirm first)
bin/railway.py redeploy --deployment-id dep_abc123       # redeploy a deployment (confirm first)

Every operation is a POST to the single GraphQL endpoint with {"query": ..., "variables": {...}}. Queries are kept minimal; project and deployments accept the IDs Railway returns from projects.

Auth

  • Provider id: railway (credential is collected as custom.railway)
  • Collection: account or workspace Bearer token via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the Railway dashboard under Tokens. Note: project tokens are a different mechanism (they use a Project-Access-Token header instead of Authorization: Bearer) and are out of scope for this CLI.
  • Allowed hosts: backboard.railway.com
  • Status check: bin/railway.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. set-var and redeploy are writes: confirm the project, environment, variable name, and value with the user before running, unless standing permission exists.
  2. Reading (projects, deployments) needs no confirmation.
  3. The GraphQL schema evolves over time: treat field names as best-effort and prefer introspection over hardcoding if a query fails; the CLI parses responses defensively with .get.
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
