What templates does

This skill queries Railway's template catalog using GraphQL API calls and the local CLI. It searches entries by category, such as CMS or monitoring, and retrieves configuration payloads for codes like ghost or uptime-kuma.

Execution requires a configured railway-cli binary. The helper script inspects project and environment identifiers using railway status --json before dispatching a templateDeployV2 mutation. Without an active project context in the CLI, deployments fail immediately.

Search calls are capped at 10 requests per minute. For standard databases like Postgres or Redis, Railway advises using the dedicated railway-database skill instead, even though raw template deployments remain functional.

What it helps with

deploy apps like n8n or Strapi into Railway
search verified templates for monitoring or storage
fetch serialized service configurations by template code
launch Minio without writing deployment configs manually

Example prompts for the agent

Search Railway marketplace for verified monitoring templates
Deploy the n8n template into my current Railway environment
Get configuration details for the ghost template
