By name: Railway Deploy description: Skill for deploying Gravity Claw to Railway with the standard pause → test → deploy → verify cycle.
Railway Deploy Skill
Overview
Gravity Claw is deployed to Railway using Docker. The Railway CLI manages deployments, environment variables, and logs.
Key Rules
- Always pause Railway before local testing. Two bot instances polling the same Telegram token will fight over messages.
- Always type-check before deploying. Run
npx tsc --noEmitto catch errors. - Railway filesystem is ephemeral. The SQLite database restarts fresh on each deploy unless using an external volume.
