Prerequisites
Get project context:
railway status --json
Extract:
id - project ID environments.edges[0].node.id - environment ID
Get workspace ID:
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 <<'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 <<'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 <<'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 <<'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.
