# Railway Documentation Fetch up-to-date Railway documentation to answer questions accurately. ## When to Use - User asks how something works on Railway (projects, deployments, volumes, etc.) - User shares a docs.railway.com URL - User needs current info about Railway features or pricing - Before answering Railway questions from memory - check the docs first ## LLM-Optimized Sources Start here for comprehensive, up-to-date info: | Source | URL | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | | **Full docs** | `https://docs.railway.com/api/llms-docs.md` | | **llms.txt index** | `https://railway.com/llms.txt` | | **Templates** | `https://railway.com/llms-templates.md` | | **Changelog** | `https://railway.com/llms-changelog.md` | | **Blog** | `https://blog.railway.com/llms-blog.md` | ## Fetching Specific Pages Append `.md` to any docs.railway.com URL: ``` https://docs.railway.com/guides/projects → https://docs.railway.com/guides/projects.md ``` ## Common Doc Paths | Topic | URL | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Projects | `https://docs.railway.com/guides/projects.md` | | Deployments | `https://docs.railway.com/guides/deployments.md` | | Volumes | `https://docs.railway.com/guides/volumes.md` | | Variables | `https://docs.railway.com/guides/variables.md` | | CLI | `https://docs.railway.com/reference/cli-api.md` | | Pricing | `https://docs.railway.com/reference/pricing.md` |
Related Skills
railway-status
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.
railway-service
Check service status, rename services, change service icons, link services, or create services with Docker images. For creating services with local code, prefer railway-new skill. For GitHub repo sources, use railway-new skill to create empty service then railway-environment skill to configure source.
railway-projects
List, switch, and configure Railway projects. Use when user wants to list all projects, switch projects, rename a project, enable/disable PR deploys, make a project public/private, or modify project settings.
railway-new
Create Railway projects, services, and databases with proper configuration. Use when user says "setup", "deploy to railway", "initialize", "create project", "create service", or wants to deploy from GitHub. Handles initial setup AND adding services to existing projects. For databases, use railway-railway-database skill instead.
railway-metrics
Query resource usage metrics for Railway services. Use when user asks about resource usage, CPU, memory, network, disk, or service performance like "how much memory is my service using" or "is my service slow".
railway-environment
Query, stage, and apply configuration changes for Railway environments. Use for ANY variable or env var operations, service configuration (source, build settings, deploy settings), lifecycle (delete service), and applying changes. Prefer over railway-status skill for any configuration or variable queries.
railway-domain
Add, view, or remove domains for Railway services. Use when user wants to add a domain, generate a railway domain, check current domains, get the URL for a service, or remove a domain.
railway-deployment
Manage Railway deployments - view logs, redeploy, restart, or remove deployments. Use for deployment lifecycle (remove, stop, redeploy, restart), deployment visibility (list, status, history), and troubleshooting (logs, errors, failures, crashes). NOT for deleting services - use railway-environment skill with isDeleted for that.
railway-deploy
Deploy code to Railway using "railway up". Use when user wants to push code, says "railway up", "deploy", "ship", or "push". For initial setup or creating services, use railway-new skill. For Docker images, use railway-environment skill.
railway-database
Add official Railway database services (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB). Use when user wants to add a database, says "add postgres", "add redis", "add database", "connect to database", or "wire up the database". For other templates (Ghost, Strapi, n8n), use the railway-templates skill.
backend-to-frontend-handoff-docs
Create API handoff documentation for frontend developers. Use when backend work is complete and needs to be documented for frontend integration, or user says 'create handoff', 'document API', 'frontend handoff', or 'API documentation'.
openai-docs
Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs and needs up-to-date official documentation with citations (for example: Codex, Responses API, Chat Completions, Apps SDK, Agents SDK, Realtime, model capabilities or limits); prioritize OpenAI docs MCP tools and restrict any fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains.
