neo4j-getting-started-skill

Orchestrates zero-to-running-app in 8 stages — prerequisites → context → provision → model → load → explore → query → build. Each stage reads its own reference file. Supports HITL and fully autonomous operation. Use when starting a new Neo4j project from scratch, provisioning Aura, generating synthetic data, building a notebook or app, or running the full onboarding pipeline. Time budget ≤15 min autonomous, ≤90 min HITL. Does NOT cover Cypher query authoring — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover driver upgrades or Cypher migration — use neo4j-migration-skill. Does NOT cover CLI/admin tasks on an existing DB — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill.
