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.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its file declares
Copied from the file, not written here
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Railway Deploy
Deploy code from the current directory to Railway using railway up.
When to Use
- User asks to "deploy", "ship", "push code"
- User says "railway up" or "deploy to Railway"
- User wants to deploy local code changes
- User says "deploy and fix any issues" (use --ci mode)
Modes
Detach Mode (default)
Starts deploy and returns immediately. Use for most deploys.
railway up --detach
CI Mode
Streams build logs until complete. Use when user wants to watch the build or needs to debug issues.
railway up --ci
When to use CI mode:
- User says "deploy and watch", "deploy and fix issues"
- User is debugging build failures
- User wants to see build output
Deploy Specific Service
Default is linked service. To deploy to a different service:
railway up --detach --service backend
Deploy to Unlinked Project
Deploy to a project without linking first:
railway up --project <project-id> --environment production --detach
Requires both --project and --environment flags.
CLI Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-d, --detach | Don't attach to logs (default) |
-c, --ci | Stream build logs, exit when done |
-s, --service <NAME> | Target service (defaults to linked) |
-e, --environment <NAME> | Target environment (defaults to linked) |
-p, --project <ID> | Target project (requires --environment) |
[PATH] | Path to deploy (defaults to current directory) |
Directory Linking
Railway CLI walks UP the directory tree to find a linked project. If you're in a subdirectory of a linked project, you don't need to relink.
For subdirectory deployments, prefer setting rootDirectory via the railway-environment skill, then deploy normally with railway up.
After Deploy
Detach mode
Deploying to <service>...
Use railway-deployment skill to check build status (with --lines flag).
CI mode
Build logs stream inline. If build fails, the error will be in the output.
Do NOT run railway logs --build after CI mode - the logs already streamed. If you need
more context, use railway-deployment skill with --lines flag (never stream).
Composability
- Check status after deploy: Use railway-service skill
- View logs: Use railway-deployment skill
- Fix config issues: Use railway-environment skill
- Redeploy after config fix: Use railway-environment skill
Error Handling
No Project Linked
No Railway project linked. Run `railway link` first.
No Service Linked
No service linked. Use --service flag or run `railway service` to select one.
Build Failure (CI mode)
The build logs already streamed - analyze them directly from the railway up --ci output.
Do NOT run railway logs after CI mode (it streams forever without --lines).
Common issues:
- Missing dependencies → check package.json/requirements.txt
- Build command wrong → use railway-environment skill to fix
- Dockerfile issues → check dockerfile path
