Use when working with Neo4j command-line tools — neo4j-cli (modern unified.

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

# Neo4j CLI Tools skill

## When to Use

- Cypher queries, schema inspection, Aura, Docker, credentials, agent skills → `neo4j-cli` (**preferred**)
- Admin tasks: backup, restore, import, memory sizing → `neo4j-admin`
- Ad-hoc queries, scripting, CI/CD (Java required) → `cypher-shell`
- MCP server install → `neo4j-mcp`

## When NOT to Use

- **Writing or optimizing Cypher queries** → `neo4j-cypher-skill`
- **Upgrading Neo4j drivers or migrating Cypher syntax** → `neo4j-migration-skill`
- **Starting a new Neo4j project from scratch** → `neo4j-getting-started-skill`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills/neo4j-cli-tools-skill@sha256:b8e8d020609f80f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.15, 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.
