+# Railway Platform
+
+Railway is a deployment platform that builds and runs your code with minimal configuration. This skill provides comprehensive management of Railway resources.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- **Creating projects:** Initialize new Railway projects or link existing ones
+- **Deploying code:** Push local code or connect GitHub repositories
+- **Managing services:** Create, configure, and monitor services
+- **Adding databases:** Deploy Postgres, Redis, MySQL, or MongoDB
+- **Configuring domains:** Set up custom domains with SSL
+- **Environment setup:** Variables, build commands, and configuration
+- **Advanced features:** Volumes, cron jobs, private networking, Railway Functions
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Deploy Current Directory
+
+```bash
+railway up --detach -m "Initial deploy"
+```
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+railway status --json
+```
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+railway logs --lines 100
+```
+
+## Installation & Setup
+
+See [01-getting-started.md](references/01-getting-started.md) for:
+- CLI installation
+- Authentication
+- Project linking
+- Troubleshooting
+
+Quick check:
+```bash
+railway status --json
+```
+
+## Decision Trees
+
+### Decision: New Project vs Existing
+
+```
+railway status --json
+        │
+   ┌────┴────┐
+  Linked    Not Linked
+    │            │
+    │     Check parent directory
+    │            │
+    │       ┌────┴────┐
+    │    Linked    Not linked
+    │       │            │
+    │   Use parent    List projects
+    │   project       or init new
+    │       │            │
+  Add      Set root   Link or
+  service   dir       init
+```
+
+### Decision: Deploy Strategy
+
+```
+Local code    GitHub repo
+    │              │
+railway up    Connect in UI
+    │              │
+  Detach      Auto-deploys
+  or CI           │
+    │         On push to
+  Monitor      main
+```
+
+### Decision: Database Setup
+
+```
+Need database?
+      │
+   ┌──┴──┐
+  Yes    No
+   │      │
+Check    Skip
+existing
+   │
+┌──┴──┐
+Exists  New
+  │      │
+Skip   Deploy
+  │    template
+  │      │
+Wire    Done
+vars
+```
+
+## Core Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: New Project from Scratch
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create project
+railway init -n my-project
+
+# 2. Add service
+railway add --service web
+
+# 3. Deploy
+railway up --detach -m "Initial deploy"
+
+# 4. Add domain (optional)
+railway domain
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Connect to Existing Project
+
+```bash
+# 1. List projects
+railway list --json
+
+# 2. Link to project
+railway link -p project-name
+
+# 3. Check status
+railway status
+
+# 4. Deploy
+railway up
+```
+
+### Workflow 3: Add Database + Wire Service
+
+```bash
+# 1. Deploy database template
+# See database reference for template deployment
+
+# 2. Wire connection
+# Set DATABASE_URL via environment reference
+
+# 3. Deploy with connection
+railway up
+```
+
+### Workflow 4: Monorepo Setup
+
+**First, detect type:**
+```bash
+# Check for workspace files
+ls pnpm-workspace.yaml turbo.json nx.json 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**Isolated monorepo (no shared code):**
+```bash
+railway add --service frontend
+# Set rootDirectory: /frontend
+
+railway add --service backend
+# Set rootDirectory: /backend
+```
+
+**Shared monorepo (workspace tools):**
+```bash
+railway add --service frontend
+# Build: pnpm --filter frontend build
+# Watch: /packages/frontend/**, /packages/shared/**
+
+railway add --service backend
+# Build: pnpm --filter backend build
+```
+
+**See [12-monorepo.md](references/12-monorepo.md) for detailed patterns.**

+
+## Project Types
+
+### Supported Languages & Frameworks
+
+Railway auto-detects and builds:
+
+| Type | Detected By | Notes |

+```json
+{
+  "services": {
+    "my-service": {
+      "build": {
+        "buildCommand": "npm run build:prod",
+        "startCommand": "node dist/server.js"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**See [06-environments.md](references/06-environments.md) for detailed build configuration.**

+
+### Databases
+
+Railway provides managed databases via templates:
+
+| Database | Template Code | Connection Variable |
+|----------|---------------|-------------------|
+| **PostgreSQL** | `postgres` | `DATABASE_URL` |
+| **Redis** | `redis` | `REDIS_URL` |
+| **MySQL** | `mysql` | `MYSQL_URL` |
+| **MongoDB** | `mongodb` | `MONGO_URL` |
+
+**See [05-databases.md](references/05-databases.md) for deployment and wiring patterns.**
+
+### Networking
+
+**Public networking:**
+- Automatic HTTPS via Railway domains
+- Custom domains with SSL
+- No bandwidth limits
+
+**Private networking:**
+- Service-to-service communication
+- No egress charges
+- Uses `RAILWAY_PRIVATE_DOMAIN`
+
+**See networking reference for configuration.**
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**"No project linked"**
+```bash
+# Solution: Link or initialize
+railway link -p project-name
+# or
+railway init -n new-project
+```
+
+**"Build failed"**
+```bash
+# Check build logs
+railway logs --build --lines 100
+
+# Common fixes:
+# - Missing dependencies: check package.json/requirements.txt
+# - Wrong build command: see railpack reference
+# - Out of memory: add NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"
+```
+
+**"Service crashed"**
+```bash
+# Check runtime logs
+railway logs --lines 100
+
+# Common causes:
+# - Port not using $PORT env var
+# - Missing start command
+# - Runtime dependencies missing
+```
+
+**"Database connection refused"**
+```bash
+# Verify:
+# 1. Database service is running
+# 2. Using correct DATABASE_URL reference
+# 3. Both services in same environment
+# 4. Database finished initializing
+```
+
+### Error Reference
+
+| Error | Meaning | Solution |
+|-------|---------|----------|
+| `cli_missing` | Railway CLI not installed | `npm install -g @railway/cli` |
+| `not_authenticated` | Not logged in | `railway login` |
+| `not_linked` | No project linked | `railway link` or `railway init` |
+| `build_failed` | Build error | Check build logs |
+| `deploy_failed` | Deploy error | Check service logs |
+| `no_service` | Service not found | Check `railway status` |
+

+This skill includes shared utilities in `_shared/scripts/`:
+
+### railway-api.sh
+
+GraphQL API helper for advanced operations:
+
+```bash
+# Usage
+source _shared/scripts/railway-api.sh
+
+# Make API call
+railway_api '<query>' '<variables>'
+
+# Get project context
+get_project_context
+
+# Fetch environment config

+
+# Check if linked
+check_railway_linked
+
+# Detect project type
+detect_project_type
+
+# Detect monorepo type
+detect_monorepo_type

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Use Commit Messages
+
+```bash
+# Good
+railway up --detach -m "Fix user authentication bug"
+
+# Bad (no context)
+railway up --detach
+```
+
+### 2. Check Status Before Operations
+
+```bash
+# Always verify context first
+railway status --json
+```
+
+### 3. Use References for Complex Config
+
+Don't overload SKILL.md - load appropriate reference files for:
+- Monorepo setup
+- Complex environment configuration
+- Database wiring
+- Advanced networking
+
+### 4. Progressive Loading
+
+This skill uses progressive disclosure:
+- **SKILL.md:** Common workflows (~500 lines)
+- **Shared references:** Patterns used across skills
+- **Skill-specific refs:** Detailed domain knowledge
+- **Scripts:** Executable utilities
+
+### 5. Keep Secrets Encrypted
+
+```bash
+# Set encrypted variable
+railway variables set SECRET_KEY=value
+# Mark as encrypted in dashboard
+```
+
