SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? When working with Railway deployments, developers often need a quick answer to "is it running?" or "what's deployed?" without digging through the Railway dashboard. This Skill checks the current Railway project status directly from the terminal and presents it in a readable summary. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project Status Overview: Runs railway status --json and presents the project name, workspace, current environment, services, and domains. - Active Deployment Tracking: Surfaces in-progress deployments from the activeDeployments field, including build and deploy states. - Guided Error Recovery: Detects common failure states—CLI not installed, not authenticated, or no linked project—and provides exact remediation commands like railway login or railway link. - Use Case: Before pushing a new deployment, ask for the Railway status to confirm which environment and services are live, and verify no conflicting deployment is currently in progress. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check the Railway deployment status for this project and show which services are running.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my Railway deployment status from the terminal?▼

Run `railway status --json` with the Railway CLI to get structured output showing your project, environment, services, and active deployments. The JSON can be parsed to present a readable summary of deployment states and domains.

How do I see active deployments on Railway?▼

The `railway status --json` output includes an `activeDeployments` array on each service showing currently running deployments with their status, such as building or deploying. This lets you confirm whether a deploy is still in progress.

Why does railway status say no linked project?▼

The "No linked project" error means the current directory is not associated with a Railway project. Run `railway link` to connect an existing project, or `railway init` to create a new one, then retry the status command.

What should I do if the Railway CLI is not installed?▼

Install the Railway CLI globally with `npm install -g @railway/cli` or via Homebrew with `brew install railway`. After installation, authenticate with `railway login` before running status or deployment commands.

When should I use the status skill versus the environment skill?▼

Use status for uptime, deployment progress, services, and domains. Use the environment skill for configuration queries like builder type, start commands, healthchecks, service sources, or viewing and changing environment variables.
