What's Missing in Standard Railway Architecture
Railway handles deployments successfully, but these technical events don't automatically trigger user notifications or feature announcements.
Standard Railway Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
Standard Flow
1
User has access to Railway features
2
Features available but usage not monitored
3
No activation prompts for unused features
Skene Flow
1
Monitor Railway usage patterns and feature adoption
2
Identify users who haven't used key features
3
Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases
4
Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This
This Skene configuration watches Railway deployment events and automatically triggers announcement emails to engaged users, turning technical events into growth opportunities.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Auto-managed state. Installed via Prompt.

@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the Post-Deploy Activation pattern for Railway.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
