## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Works with: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, n8n

## Install
