Railway Status

Check the current Railway project status for this directory.

When to Use

• User asks about Railway status, project, services, or deployments
• User mentions deploying or pushing to Railway
• Before any Railway operation (deploy, update service, add variables)
• User asks about environments or domains

When NOT to Use

Use the environment skill instead when user wants:

• Detailed service configuration (builder type, dockerfile path, build command, root directory)
• Deploy config (start command, restart policy, healthchecks, predeploy command)
• Service source (repo, branch, image)
• Compare service configs
• Query or change environment variables

Run:

railway status --json

First verify CLI is installed:

command -v railway
