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

use-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/railway-api.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use Railway

Railway resource model

Railway organizes infrastructure in a hierarchy:

  • Workspace is the billing and team scope. A user belongs to one or more workspaces.
  • Project is a collection of services under one workspace. It maps to one deployable unit of work.
  • Environment is an isolated configuration plane inside a project (for example, production, staging). Each environment has its own variables, config, and deployment history.
  • Service is a single deployable unit inside a project. It can be an app from a repo, a Docker image, or a managed database.
  • Deployment is a point-in-time release of a service in an environment. It has build logs, runtime logs, and a status lifecycle.

Most CLI commands operate on the linked project/environment/service context. Use railway status --json to see the context, and --project, --environment, --service flags to override.

Preflight

Before any mutation, verify context:

command -v railway                # CLI installed
railway whoami --json             # authenticated
railway --version                 # check CLI version
railway status --json             # linked project/environment/service

If the CLI is missing, guide the user to install it.

bash <(curl -fsSL cli.new) # Shell script (macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL)
brew install railway # Homebrew (macOS)
npm i -g @railway/cli # npm (macOS, Linux, Windows). Requires Node.js version 16 or higher.

If not authenticated, run railway login. If not linked, run railway link --project <id-or-name>.

If a command is not recognized (for example, railway environment edit), the CLI may be outdated. Upgrade with:

railway upgrade

Common quick operations

These are frequent enough to handle without loading a reference:

railway status --json                                    # current context
railway whoami --json                                    # auth and workspace info
railway project list --json                              # list projects
railway service status --all --json                      # all services in current context
railway variable list --service <svc> --json             # list variables
railway variable set KEY=value --service <svc>           # set a variable
railway logs --service <svc> --lines 200 --json          # recent logs
railway up --detach -m "<summary>"                       # deploy current directory

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
