Railway agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

4 ready-made playbooks that teach an AI agent how to do real Railway work: which tools to call, what to check first, and when to stop and ask you.

Download RevampKey, free I have it: connect Railway

Connect Railway once and all 4 skills install themselves and stay up to date. Mac, Windows and Linux.

All 4 Railway skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Use Railway with AI, safely

Connects your Railway account and checks which account, project and environment the assistant is acting on before reading or changing anything. It asks for your explicit yes before any deploy or feature flag change.

Use it when

You are connecting Railway for the first time and want to know what the assistant can do
You want to check a project's services without risking an accidental deploy
You need to change a feature flag and want it confirmed before it goes live

Tools it uses

whoami
list-projects
list-services
list-deployments
get-status
get-logs
get-feature-flag
list-feature-flags
create-project
create-deployment
deploy-artifact
redeploy
accept-deploy
set-feature-flag
delete-feature-flag
railway-agent

Example

Check which Railway account and project you're using, then list the services in my staging environment.

You're signed in as ana@example.com. Project: storefront, environment: staging. I found 4 services: web, api, worker and redis. All four show a successful latest deployment. Nothing has been changed.

Check Railway deployment status with AI

Reviews a Railway project's services, latest deployments and recent logs to say whether things are up and what happened on the last deploy. It only reads state and never redeploys or changes flags.

Use it when

You want to know if your app or project is up after a deploy
A service seems to be crash-looping and you need to see why
You need a status summary before deciding whether to roll back

Tools it uses

whoami
list-projects
list-services
list-deployments
get-logs
get-status
list-feature-flags
create-deployment
deploy-artifact
accept-deploy
redeploy
set-feature-flag
delete-feature-flag

Example

Is my api service in the staging project up? What happened on its last deploy?

Your staging project's api service is degraded. Its newest deployment failed at boot because the DATABASE_URL variable is not set, but the previous deployment is still serving traffic. I have not changed anything; if you want me to redeploy the previous version, I need your explicit yes first.

Triage a failing Railway service from its logs

Pulls recent logs for a failing Railway service, finds the first error and the change that preceded it, separates symptom from likely cause, and proposes a rollback only after you approve it.

Use it when

A service started returning 500s after a recent deploy
A worker is crash-looping and you need to know why
You are deciding whether to roll back a bad release

Tools it uses

whoami
list-projects
list-services
list-deployments
get-logs
redeploy
create-deployment
deploy-artifact
accept-deploy
get-status
set-feature-flag
delete-feature-flag

Example

The api service in production has been throwing 500s since about 14:00. What broke, and should we roll back?

The first error is at 14:02, a missing DATABASE_URL on startup, right after deployment 4f2a went live at 14:01. The previous healthy deploy was 9c1e from yesterday afternoon. The likely cause is a configuration change in 4f2a, which is not yet confirmed. I recommend rolling back to 9c1e. Shall I redeploy 9c1e to production? Nothing will change until you confirm.

Roll out a Railway release behind feature flags

Plans a feature-flag rollout on Railway: reads the current flag state, shows the exact change, and applies it only after you approve. It checks the logs afterwards and offers a rollback if something breaks.

Use it when

You want to enable a feature for a percentage of users or in one environment
A change is deployed but still hidden behind a flag and you are ready to turn it on
A flag flip went wrong and you need to see if it is safe to revert

Tools it uses

whoami
list-projects
list-feature-flags
get-feature-flag
list-deployments
get-status
list-services
set-feature-flag
create-deployment
deploy-artifact
accept-deploy
get-logs
delete-feature-flag
redeploy

Example

Turn on the new checkout flag in production for the payments service, and check the logs after.

Production currently has new_checkout set to off, and the code it guards is already deployed. Proposed change: set new_checkout to on in production, no redeploy needed. Rollback is to set it back to off. Reply yes to apply, and I will check the payments logs for new errors afterwards.

How Railway skills work

Connect Railway
The Railway MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Is my api service in the staging project up? What happened on its last deploy?” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

Railway skills FAQ

What is a Railway agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Railway skill describes one job, which Railway tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Railway skills change anything on their own?

The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Railway.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Railway; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Railway MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Railway MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Railway MCP setup guide covers every client.
