Can I deploy to a project that isn't currently linked?

Yes, you can deploy to unlinked projects by providing both the --project and --environment flags in your request.

How do I deploy a specific service in my Railway project?

You can specify the target service by using the --service flag followed by the service name during the deployment command.

What should I do if my Railway build fails?

Run the deployment in CI mode to see the logs, or use the deployment skill with the --lines flag to analyze the error without streaming.

When should I use CI mode versus Detach mode?

Use Detach mode for standard updates where you don't need to watch the logs. Use CI mode when you need to debug build failures or want to see the real-time build output.

Deployment & DevOps

Deploys code, services, and local changes to the Railway platform using the Railway CLI.

About

The Railway Deploy skill enables Claude to manage the application deployment lifecycle directly on Railway. It streamlines the process of pushing local code changes, initiating deployments in either background (detach) or real-time (CI) modes, and targeting specific services or environments. By automating the 'railway up' command workflow, this skill helps developers ship updates faster, monitor build progress, and resolve deployment-related issues without leaving the chat interface.

Key Features

Detach mode for background deployments that return control immediately
Targeted deployments to specific projects, services, or environments
CI mode for real-time build log streaming and interactive debugging
Automatic directory tree traversal to locate linked projects
35 GitHub stars
Instant code deployment to Railway using 'railway up'

Use Cases

Pushing local code updates to a production or staging environment
Monitoring and fixing build failures by streaming logs in CI mode
Deploying specific microservices within a multi-service Railway project
