neo4j-vector-index-skill SKILL.md skillA
neo4j-vector-index-skill from neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills/neo4j-vector-index-skill@v1.0.18Pins v1.0.18 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create and manage Neo4j vector indexes, run vector similarity search (ANN/kNN),.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use - Creating a vector index (`CREATE VECTOR INDEX`) on nodes or relationships - Running vector similarity / nearest-neighbor search - Storing embeddings on graph nodes during ingestion - Indexing/querying embeddings already written by GDS algorithms - Choosing similarity function, dimensions, HNSW params, or quantization - Using `SEARCH` clause (2026.01+) or `db.index.vector.queryNodes()` (2025.x) - Batch-updating embeddings after model change - Combining vector results with immediate graph neighborhood (full retrieval_query pipelines → `neo4j-graphrag-skill`) - Hybrid search that combines vector results with fulltext or other ranked sources ## When NOT to Use - **GraphRAG pipelines** (VectorCypherRetriever, HybridCypherRetriever, retrieval_query) → `neo4j-graphrag-skill` - **Fulltext-only / keyword-only search** (FULLTEXT INDEX, `db.index.fulltext.queryNodes`) → `neo4j-cypher-skill` - **Computing GDS graph embeddings** (FastRP, Node2Vec, GraphSAGE) → `neo4j-gds-skill` - **Index admin** (list all indexes, drop range/text/lookup indexes) → `neo4j-cypher-skill` --- ## Pre-flight — Determine Version ```cypher …

How to install
mdr add neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills/neo4j-vector-index-skill@sha256:90843a761bddc671The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.18, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
