This "Status" skill provides real-time updates on application deployments, ensuring you know exactly where your apps are and why they're running.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it use-railway, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add railwayapp/railway-skills --skill use-railway -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 3 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: backboard.railway.com, railway.com, station-server.railway.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

The status skill allows AI agents to check and report on their current operational state, including available resources, active tasks, and system health. It provides a clear overview of the agent’s status for monitoring and maintenance purposes.

When to use it

  • To verify if an AI agent is running correctly before executing a task.
  • During troubleshooting to identify potential issues with resource allocation or performance.
  • Before deploying new features or updates to ensure the agent is in a stable state.
  • For logging and auditing to track system behavior over time.

Key capabilities

  • Reports current operational status of an AI agent.
  • Monitors available resources such as memory, CPU usage, and network connectivity.
  • Tracks active tasks and their progress.
  • Provides health diagnostics for the agent’s environment.

Example prompts

  • "What is your current system status?"
  • "Check if all resources are available."
  • "Report on any errors or warnings in your operational state."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that the AI agent has permission to access system metrics and logs.
  • Some capabilities may require additional plugins or configurations depending on the environment.
