Check current Railway project status for this directory. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates.

  • User asks railway status
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, When NOT to Use, Check Status and Handling Errors, plus 1 more section
  • Calls railway
  • Deployment status

What it does

Railway Status is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Check current Railway project status for this directory. Use when user asks "railway status", "is it running", "what's deployed", "deployment status", or about uptime. NOT for variables or configuration queries - use railway-environment skill for those.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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 Deployment. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks railway status
  • Deployment status

Example prompts

  • “railway status”
  • “is it running”
  • “s deployed”
  • “/railway-status”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(railway:*), Bash(which:*), Bash(command:*)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(railway:*)
    • Bash(which:*)
    • Bash(command:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • railway

    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 Status loads about 632 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~632

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 Status

Check the current Railway project status for this directory.

When to Use

  • User asks about Railway status, project, services, or deployments
  • User mentions deploying or pushing to Railway
  • Before any Railway operation (deploy, update service, add variables)
  • User asks about environments or domains

When NOT to Use

Use the railway-environment skill instead when user wants:

  • Detailed service configuration (builder type, dockerfile path, build command, root directory)
  • Deploy config (start command, restart policy, healthchecks, predeploy command)
  • Service source (repo, branch, image)
  • Compare service configs
  • Query or change environment variables

Check Status

Run:

bash
railway status --json

First verify CLI is installed:

bash
command -v railway

Handling Errors

CLI Not Installed

If command -v railway fails:

Railway CLI is not installed. Install with:

npm install -g @railway/cli

or

brew install railway

Then authenticate: railway login

Not Authenticated

If railway whoami fails:

Not logged in to Railway. Run:

railway login
No Project Linked

If status returns "No linked project":

No Railway project linked to this directory.

To link an existing project: railway link To create a new project: railway init

Presenting Status

Parse the JSON and present:

  • Project: name and workspace
  • Environment: current environment (production, staging, etc.)
  • Services: list with deployment status
  • Active Deployments: any in-progress deployments (from activeDeployments field)
  • Domains: any configured domains

Example output format:

Project: my-app (workspace: my-team)
Environment: production

Services:
- web: deployed (https://my-app.up.railway.app)
- api: deploying (build in progress)
- postgres: running

The activeDeployments array on each service shows currently running deployments with their status (building, deploying, etc.).
