What it does

Openfdd Railway CLI is an agent skill from bbartling/open-fdd. Use when installing, authenticating, linking, or re-pinning the Open-FDD Railway hub (central/mqtt/web) via the Railway CLI on bensbench. Triggers on: railway CLI, RAILWAYTOKEN, railway login, railway link, railway redeploy, Railway re-pin, OPENFDDNGINXRESOLVER, sha tip on Railway, gleaming-cooperation.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud networking and GraphQL. It works with NGINX and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) for HVAC datasets.

When your agent uses it

  • Re-pinning the Open-FDD Railway hub (central/mqtt/web) via the Railway CLI on bensbench
  • Railway redeploy
  • OPENFDDNGINXRESOLVER
  • Sha tip on Railway

Example prompts

  • “/openfdd-railway-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in RAILWAY_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Tip Actions green + GHCR Publish
  2. GH tidy (0 open PRs; delete feature branch)
  3. Backup then re-pin central → mqtt → web
  4. ./scripts/openfdd_fieldbus_railway_up.sh sha-<7> (bensbench x86 only — no Pi)
  5. ./scripts/nightly-ot-bench/run_railway_hub_stress.sh
  6. Sync BUG_REPORT_OT_MODBUS_HAYSTACK.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b5c4e9c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • railway
    • npm
    • openssl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • RAILWAY_TOKEN
    • RAILWAY_ADMIN_PASSWORD

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

Context cost

Openfdd Railway CLI loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 720 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22
    ion). Stale `RAILWAY_TOKEN` in `.secrets/.env` breaks CLI — `env -u RAILWAY_TOKEN` when needed. |
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:115
    Railway vars for mid-wave gates (local `.env` must not clobber).

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 720 words (~2,306 tokens).
