Agent skill

railway-templates

Search and deploy services from Railway's template marketplace. Use when user wants to add a service from a template, find templates for a specific use case, or deploy tools like Ghost, Strapi, n8n, Minio, Uptime Kuma, etc. For databases (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB), prefer the railway-database skill.

Railway Templates

Search and deploy services from Railway's template marketplace.

When to Use

  • User asks to "add Postgres", "add Redis", "add a database"
  • User asks to "add Ghost", "add Strapi", "add n8n", or any other service
  • User wants to find templates for a use case (e.g., "CMS", "storage", "monitoring")
  • User asks "what templates are available?"
  • User wants to deploy a pre-configured service

Common Template Codes

Category Template Code
Databases PostgreSQL postgres
Redis redis
MySQL mysql
MongoDB mongodb
CMS Ghost ghost
Strapi strapi
Storage Minio minio
Automation n8n n8n
Monitoring Uptime Kuma uptime-kuma

For other templates, use the search query below.

Prerequisites

Get project context:

bash
railway status --json

Extract:

  • id - project ID
  • environments.edges[0].node.id - environment ID

Get workspace ID:

bash
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
  'query getWorkspace($projectId: String!) {
    project(id: $projectId) { workspaceId }
  }' \
  '{"projectId": "PROJECT_ID"}'
SCRIPT

Search Templates

List available templates with optional filters:

bash
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
  'query templates($first: Int, $verified: Boolean) {
    templates(first: $first, verified: $verified) {
      edges {
        node {
          name
          code
          description
          category
        }
      }
    }
  }' \
  '{"first": 20, "verified": true}'
SCRIPT

Arguments

Argument Type Description
first Int Number of results (max ~100)
verified Boolean Only verified templates
recommended Boolean Only recommended templates

Rate Limit

10 requests per minute. Don't spam searches.

Get Template Details

Fetch a specific template by code:

bash
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
  'query template($code: String!) {
    template(code: $code) {
      id
      name
      description
      serializedConfig
    }
  }' \
  '{"code": "postgres"}'
SCRIPT

Returns:

  • id - template ID (needed for deployment)
  • serializedConfig - service configuration (needed for deployment)

Deploy Template

Step 1: Fetch Template

bash
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
  'query template($code: String!) {
    template(code: $code) {
      id
      serializedConfig
    }
  }' \
  '{"code": "postgres"}'
SCRIPT

Step 2: Deploy to Project

bash
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
  'mutation deployTemplate($input: TemplateDeployV2Input!) {
    templateDeployV2(input: $input) {
      projectId
      workflowId
    }
  }' \
  '{
    "input": {
      "templateId": "TEMPLATE_ID_FROM_STEP_1",
      "serializedConfig": SERIALIZED_CONFIG_FROM_STEP_1,
      "projectId": "PROJECT_ID",
      "environmentId": "ENVIRONMENT_ID",
      "workspaceId": "WORKSPACE_ID"
    }
  }'
SCRIPT

Important: serializedConfig is the exact JSON object from the template query, not a string.

Composability

  • Connect services: Use railway-environment skill to add variable references
  • View deployed service: Use railway-service skill
  • Check logs: Use railway-deployment skill
  • Add domains: Use railway-domain skill
