Project Management

List, switch, and configure Railway projects.

When to Use

• User asks "show me all my projects" or "what projects do I have"
• User asks about projects across workspaces
• User asks "what workspaces do I have"
• User wants to switch to a different project
• User asks to rename a project
• User wants to enable/disable PR deploys
• User wants to make a project public or private
• User asks about project settings

List Projects

The railway list --json output can be very large. Run in a subagent and return only essential fields:

• Project: id, name
• Workspace: id, name
• Services: name (optional, if user needs service context)

railway list --json

Extract and return a simplified summary, not the full JSON.

List Workspaces

railway whoami --json

Returns user info including all workspaces the user belongs to.

Switch Project

Link a different project to the current directory:

railway link -p <project-id-or-name>

Or interactively:

railway link

After switching, use status skill to see project details.

Update Project

Modify project settings via GraphQL API.

Get Project ID

railway status --json

Extract project.id from the response.
