'{"code": "postgres"}'
SCRIPTReturns:
id - template ID (needed for deployment)serializedConfig - service configuration (needed for deployment)Deploy Template
Step 1: Fetch Template
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
'query template($code: String!) {
template(code: $code) {

serializedConfig
}
}' \
'{"code": "postgres"}'
SCRIPTStep 2: Deploy to Project
bash <<'SCRIPT'
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lib/railway-api.sh \
'mutation deployTemplate($input: TemplateDeployV2Input!) {
templateDeployV2(input: $input) {
projectId
workflowId
}
}' \
'{
"input": {
"templateId": "TEMPLATE_ID_FROM_STEP_1",
"serializedConfig": SERIALIZED_CONFIG_FROM_STEP_1,
"projectId": "PROJECT_ID",
"environmentId": "ENVIRONMENT_ID",
"workspaceId": "WORKSPACE_ID"
}
}'
SCRIPTImportant: serializedConfig is the exact JSON object from the template query, not a string.
