Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

managing-railway scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Railway CLI Skill

Fast reference for Railway CLI operations. See REFERENCE.md for comprehensive documentation.


Overview

What is Railway: Modern PaaS for instant deployments with zero configuration. Supports any language/framework via Nixpacks or Dockerfile. Includes managed databases, private networking, and automatic SSL.

When to Use: Deploying apps, managing services/databases, debugging (logs, SSH), configuring domains, managing environment variables, CI/CD integration.

Auto-Detection: railway.json, railway.toml, RAILWAY_TOKEN in .env, or user mentions Railway.

Critical: Avoiding Interactive Mode

Railway CLI can enter interactive mode which will hang Claude Code. Always use flags:

Command WRONG CORRECT
Link project railway link railway link -p <project> -e <env>
Create project railway init railway init -n <name>
Switch env railway environment railway environment <name>
Remove deploy railway down railway down -y
Redeploy railway redeploy railway redeploy -y
Deploy railway up railway up --detach
SSH railway ssh railway ssh -- <command>

Required flags: -y (skip prompts), --detach (background), explicit names, --json (parsing), -- <cmd> (SSH).

Never use: railway login, railway connect (without service), railway shell, commands without explicit params.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
