deploy

SKILL.md

Push code to Railway with railway up, supporting detach and CI streaming modes.

Two deployment modes: detach (default, returns immediately) and CI (streams build logs until complete)

Always include a -m flag with a descriptive commit message summarizing the changes being deployed

Supports targeting specific services and environments via --service and --environment flags, or deploying to unlinked projects with --project and --environment

CLI automatically walks up the directory tree to find a linked project, so subdirectories don't require relinking

Use the deployment skill to check build status after detach mode; do not run railway logs --build after CI mode as logs have already streamed

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)

Commit Message

Always use the -m flag with a descriptive commit message summarizing what's being deployed:

railway up --detach -m "Add user authentication endpoint"
