neo4j-aura-agent-skill

Manages Neo4j Aura Agents via the v2beta1 REST API — create, list, get, update, delete, and invoke Aura agents backed by an AuraDB instance. Use when configuring Aura Agent tools (CypherTemplate, SimilaritySearch, Text2Cypher), setting system prompts, deploying agents to REST or MCP endpoints, or invoking agents with natural language queries. Covers OAuth2 auth, organization/project scoping, tool parameter schemas, and InvokeAgentResponse format. Does NOT cover AuraDB instance provisioning — use neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill. Does NOT cover vector index creation — use neo4j-vector-index-skill.

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a strong, highly actionable skill with excellent workflow clarity — clear step sequencing, validation gates, user confirmation requirements, and error recovery paths. The main weaknesses are moderate verbosity (the skill is long with some redundancy between sections) and inline content density that could benefit from offloading detailed tool configs and script parameter tables to reference files. Overall, it's a well-structured operational guide that would effectively guide Claude through Neo4j Aura Agent management.

Suggestions

Move the detailed Tool Configuration section and script parameter tables to a reference file (e.g., references/REFERENCE.md or a new references/tool-config.md) and link from the main skill, reducing SKILL.md length by ~30%.

Remove the 'What are Aura Agents' explanatory section or reduce it to a single sentence — Claude doesn't need a conceptual overview, and the tool types are already covered in Step 5 and Tool Configuration.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is generally efficient and avoids explaining basic concepts Claude already knows, but it's quite long (~300+ lines) with some sections that could be tightened — e.g., the detailed script parameter tables and the 'What are Aura Agents' section explaining tool types that are repeated later in Tool Configuration. The checklist at the end partially duplicates the step-by-step workflow.

2 / 3

Actionability

Highly actionable throughout — provides executable bash commands, complete JSON config examples with field-level guidance, specific script invocations with platform variants (Linux/macOS vs Windows), and concrete curl commands. Tool configuration sections include copy-paste-ready JSON templates with clear field descriptions tied to schema.json.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Excellent multi-step workflow with clear sequencing (Steps 1-9), explicit validation checkpoints ('Stop and report' on failures), error recovery guidance (re-run Step 1 on 401), data gates (Step 4 exits if <2 nodes), and user confirmation gates before destructive/create operations. The common errors table provides a feedback loop for troubleshooting.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

References to external files like `references/authoring-guide.md` and `references/REFERENCE.md` are well-signaled and one level deep, which is good. However, the main SKILL.md itself is quite long with detailed tool configuration sections and script parameter tables that could be split into reference files. Without bundle files provided to verify the referenced paths exist, and given the inline density, this scores a 2.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that is specific, comprehensive, and well-bounded. It lists concrete actions, includes rich trigger terms from the Neo4j Aura ecosystem, explicitly states both what it does and when to use it, and proactively distinguishes itself from related skills with clear negative boundaries. The use of third person voice throughout is correct.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: create, list, get, update, delete, and invoke Aura agents. Also specifies tool types (CypherTemplate, SimilaritySearch, Text2Cypher), system prompts, deploying to REST/MCP endpoints, and invoking with natural language queries.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (manages Neo4j Aura Agents via CRUD operations, tool configuration, deployment, invocation) and 'when' ('Use when configuring Aura Agent tools...setting system prompts, deploying agents...'). Also includes explicit negative boundaries directing to other skills.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural keywords: 'Neo4j', 'Aura Agents', 'REST API', 'CypherTemplate', 'SimilaritySearch', 'Text2Cypher', 'system prompts', 'MCP endpoints', 'OAuth2', 'natural language queries', 'AuraDB'. These are terms a user working with Neo4j Aura Agents would naturally use.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive with clear niche (Neo4j Aura Agents v2beta1 API). Explicitly delineates boundaries by stating what it does NOT cover and redirecting to specific other skills (neo4j-aura-provisioning-skill, neo4j-vector-index-skill), minimizing conflict risk.
