Is the Railway skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from mshumer/claude-skill-railway. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Railway SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Railway?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Railway with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 34bfdb0

Ran it for real against a live linked Railway project (Quantium AI): `railway status`/`domain`/`deployment list` executed exactly as the skill's status workflow prescribes and produced a cleanly organized report, but the skill's auto-recovery only handles 'project not linked' — it has no branch for 'project linked, no service selected,' which is exactly the state the real project was in, so `domain` and `deployment list` errored and the skill gave no guidance on `railway service`.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Railway does

A thin Claude-facing wrapper around the Railway CLI that routes natural-language commands (status, logs, deploy, vars, health, switch, db, link) to the right `railway` subcommand and formats the result. Triggers when the user is working with Railway hosting, deployments, or infrastructure and wants a status/log/deploy summary instead of raw CLI output.

How to install Railway

git clone https://github.com/mshumer/claude-skill-railway
cd claude-skill-railway
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r railway ~/.claude/skills/railway

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Railway

/railway Runs the Railway CLI for you: status, logs, deploy, vars, health checks.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

What's the status of my Railway deployment right now?
Show me the Railway logs from the last hour, errors only
Deploy this branch to Railway and check it comes up healthy
