Neo4j .NET Driver v6 — IDriver lifecycle, DI registration (singleton), ExecutableQuery.

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
- Writing C# or .NET code connecting to Neo4j
- Setting up `IDriver`, DI registration, or session/transaction lifecycle
- Questions about `ExecutableQuery`, `IResultCursor`, async patterns, result mapping
- Debugging sessions, type mapping, null safety, or error handling in .NET

## When NOT to Use
- **Writing/optimizing Cypher queries** → `neo4j-cypher-skill`
- **Upgrading from older driver version** → `neo4j-migration-skill`

---

## Install

```bash
dotnet add package Neo4j.Driver
```

| Package | Use |
|---|---|
| `Neo4j.Driver` | Async API — **use this** |
| `Neo4j.Driver.Simple` | Synchronous wrapper |
| `Neo4j.Driver.Reactive` | System.Reactive streams |

Pin `Neo4j.Driver >= 6.4.0` — fixes `CustomAuthToken.ToString()` leaking credentials in clear text, certificate validator accepting a peer with no certificate, and pool handing out server-closed idle connections.

---

## Driver Lifecycle

`IDriver` — thread-safe, connection-pooled, expensive to create. **Create one per application.**

```csharp
using Neo4j.Driver;

// URI schemes:
//   neo4j+s://xxx.databases.neo4j.io   — TLS + cluster routing (Aura)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills/neo4j-driver-dotnet-skill@sha256:3d131a1723cab4cc

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.8, 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.
