/install railway-skill
Description
Deploy and manage applications on Railway.app. Use for deploying projects, managing services, viewing logs, setting environment variables, and managing databases. Railway is a modern cloud platform for deploying apps with zero configuration.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a thin wrapper around the Railway CLI and appears coherent. Before installing: ensure you trust the Railway CLI source (brew/npm) and are comfortable the agent can run Railway commands. Be careful with tokens—use minimally scoped RAILWAY_TOKEN values stored in secure secrets, and avoid committing tokens to repos. Because the CLI can access and change production databases and environment variables, review any automatic or agent-initiated deploy/ssh commands before they run. Revoke or rotate tokens if you suspect they were exposed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: railway-skill
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions for installing and using the official Railway CLI via standard package managers (brew, npm) and details various legitimate commands for managing applications on Railway.app. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The commands, while powerful (e.g., `railway run`, `railway ssh`), are core functionalities of a deployment tool and are presented without any malicious context or instructions for misuse, aligning with the stated purpose of managing applications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description indicate Railway CLI usage and the skill only requires the 'railway' binary and offers two standard installs (Homebrew or npm). Nothing requested is unrelated to managing Railway projects.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only Railway CLI commands and common workflows (login, link, up, logs, variables, ssh, etc.). It includes examples that reference environment variables and tokens (e.g., RAILWAY_TOKEN in CI, $DATABASE_URL in run/psql examples) but does not attempt to read arbitrary host files or unrelated credentials. Consider that the CLI commands can fully manage projects and databases once authenticated.
Install Mechanism
Installers are standard package sources: Homebrew formula 'railway' and npm package '@railway/cli'. Both are expected ways to install the Railway CLI and create the 'railway' binary.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars, which is reasonable. The documentation examples reference user-provided tokens/vars (RAILWAY_TOKEN, DATABASE_URL). These are appropriate for a deployment CLI but are sensitive—the skill will operate with whatever Railway credentials the user supplies.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated platform persistence. The skill does enable use of the Railway CLI which can make persistent changes to remote projects, but it does not alter other skills or system config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install railway-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/railway-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
