Templates
Search and deploy services from Railway's template marketplace. Use when user wants to add a service from a template, find templates for a specific use case, or deploy tools like Ghost, Strapi, n8n, Minio, Uptime Kuma, etc. For databases (Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB), prefer the railway-database skill.

SkillSpector looks for patterns such as shell commands, credential access, network calls or unpinned dependencies. An observation is something worth reading in the files before you install, not a confirmed vulnerability. Components that run code locally, like hooks, MCP servers and security tooling, naturally show more of them.
No observations.

Prerequisites
Get project context:
railway status --jsonExtract:
id- project IDenvironments.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"}'
SCRIPTSearch 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}'
SCRIPTArguments
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
first |
Int | Number of results (max ~100) |
verified |
Boolean | Only verified templates |

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"}'
SCRIPTReturns:
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"}'
SCRIPTStep 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"
}
}'
SCRIPTImportant: serializedConfig is the exact JSON object from the template query, not a string.
Composability
- Connect services: Use railway-environment skill to add variable references
- View deployed service: Use railway-service skill
