Use when starting a new internal company Next.js service and you need the standard scaffold, TypeScript, lint, formatting, testing, and SPA-plus-API defaults.
Use this skill any time the user wants to build something new AND get it live on Railway — regardless of what it is (game, dashboard, form, tracker, kanban board, internal tool, web app, or anything else). This is the required skill for all zero-to-Railway workflows because it enforces company conventions: shared GitHub org, GitHub-connected deploys, and the standard Next.js + Prisma + Auth stack. Trigger on any phrasing that combines building with Railway hosting: 'create X and publish/deploy/ship/host it on railway', 'build X and put it on railway', 'new project to railway', 'take this from zero to a live URL on railway'. Also use when publishing a local project to the shared GitHub org, or when setting up auth as part of a new service. Do not use for purely operational tasks on an already-running service (debugging crashes, updating env vars, scaling).
Use when uploading, publishing, or pushing a local project folder to the shared company GitHub org. Covers private repo creation, the single-branch workflow, and the commit message convention.
Use when a company service is ready to connect to Railway, configure production settings, and resolve the correct production URL/domain.
Use when adding, changing, validating, or auditing service environment variables, Railway variables, local .env files, or sealed secrets for a company service.

Reusable internal engineering playbooks for company projects, packaged so the same guidance can be consumed by multiple AI coding tools.
Scope: this package supports company projects that are vibe-coded and hosted on Railway. It keeps GitHub org, Railway workspace, domain, and access rules in one place.
The repo follows a shared core + platform shims model:
skills/<topic>/SKILL.mdBoth GitHub and Railway access are invite-only.
| Context | Railway workspace | GitHub org and production URL signal |
|---|---|---|
| Unicore | Universe Unicore | unicore-railway, unicore-railway.io |
| GuruApps | GuruApps | unicore-railway, Railway-provided *.up.railway.app domains |
Before Railway work, run skills/setting-up-agent-stack/SKILL.md and use docs/RAILWAY_WORKSPACES.md.

| Skill | What it covers |
|---|---|
zero-to-running-tool | Run first for non-technical users or fresh machines. Installs Node 24, Docker Desktop, gh, and Railway CLI, and verifies GitHub org and Railway workspace access. |
setting-up-agent-stack | Prepare the AI agent after plugin install. Checks companion tools, shared rules, approval gates, Railway context, and readiness. |
building-company-tool | Top-level orchestrator for taking a new internal company tool from zero to production on Railway. Replaces the old service bootstrap and Railway project skills. |
bootstrapping-nextjs-service | Scaffolding a new service with Next.js, TypeScript, lint, formatting, test defaults, zod-validated env, and the /api/health aggregator. |
managing-service-env | Managing local .env files, src/lib/env.ts, Railway Variables, and the seal policy for high-sensitivity secrets. |
setting-up-prisma-postgres | Adding local PostgreSQL, Prisma, the initial schema, migration scripts, and the database health check. |
setting-up-nextauth-okta | Adding Okta SSO via Auth.js v5 (@auth/prisma-adapter), the auth health check, plus local env and onboarding defaults. |
setting-up-trpc | Adding tRPC v11 + TanStack Query as the only sanctioned client/server layer for app-internal endpoints. |
creating-github-repo | Publishing the repo to the shared company GitHub org (always private), the single-main-branch workflow (no PRs, no CI — Railway is the only deploy gate), and the Conventional Commits message convention. |
deploying-to-railway | Connecting the service to Railway, configuring production settings, and resolving the production URL/domain. |
report-skill-issue | File a GitHub issue when any skill in this repo fails or gives incorrect guidance. Self-healing: agents invoke this automatically on unrecoverable errors. |
