neo4j-document-import-skillIngests unstructured and semi-structured documents into Neo4j as a knowledge graph.
Neo4j Document Import Skill is an agent skill from neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills. Ingests unstructured and semi-structured documents into Neo4j as a knowledge graph. Use when chunking PDFs, HTML, plain text, or Markdown; extracting entities and relationships from text with an LLM (SimpleKGPipeline, neo4j-graphrag); loading JSON via apoc.load.json; building Document→Chunk→Entity graph structures; or connecting LangChain/LlamaIndex document loaders to Neo4j. Covers neo4j-graphrag SimpleKGPipeline, LLM Graph Builder web UI, entity resolution, chunking strategies, and graph schema design for RAG…
Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md` and `references/kg-construction.md`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge graphs, Frontend development and Building AI agents. It works with Neo4j, LangChain and LlamaIndex. The repository describes itself as: Neo4j Skills for Coding and other Agents including Cypher. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb30e1f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashWebFetchFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipgitdocker-composeFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comAlso links to:
neo4j.comllm-graph-builder.neo4jlabs.comgraphacademy.neo4j.compython.langchain.comdocs.llamaindex.aiFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Neo4j Document Import Skill loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 195 tokens; SKILL.md has 836 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
ENAI_API_KEY (or other provider keys) in .env- [ ] `.env` has API keys; `.env` in `.gitignore`allowed-tools: Bash, WebFetchAutomated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Default splitter: FixedSizeSplitter(chunk_size=300, chunk_overlap=50).
from neo4j_graphrag.components.text_splitters.fixed_size_splitter import FixedSizeSplitter
splitter = FixedSizeSplitter(
chunk_size=512, # tokens; 300–512 typical for GPT-4o
chunk_overlap=50, # ~10% of chunk_size; preserves boundary context
approximate=True, # respect sentence/word boundaries when possible
)
pipeline = SimpleKGPipeline(
...,
text_splitter=splitter,
)Chunking guidance:
| Document type | chunk_size | chunk_overlap |
|---|---|---|
| Dense technical text | 256–512 | 50–80 |
| Narrative / news articles | 512–1024 | 80–128 |
| Legal / financial docs | 256–384 | 40–64 |
Rule: chunk must fit within LLM context for extraction + within embedding model limits. GPT-4o: 128k context; text-embedding-3-small: 8191 tokens. Never set chunk_size > 2048.
Merge duplicate extracted entities after pipeline run.

Pipeline always produces this lexical graph layer:
(:Document {id, fileName, status, ...metadata})
-[:HAS_CHUNK]->
(:Chunk {id, text, index, embedding, ...})
-[:NEXT_CHUNK]-> ← linked list for ordered traversal
(:Chunk {...})
(:Chunk)-[:FROM_DOCUMENT]->(:Document) ← back-pointerEntity extraction adds:
(:Chunk)-[:MENTIONS]->(:Person {name, ...})
(:Chunk)-[:MENTIONS]->(:Organization {name, ...})
(:Person)-[:WORKS_AT]->(:Organization)Verify after ingestion:
CYPHER 25
MATCH (d:Document)-[:HAS_CHUNK]->(c:Chunk)
RETURN d.fileName, count(c) AS chunks LIMIT 10;
MATCH (c:Chunk)-[:MENTIONS]->(e)
RETURN labels(e)[0] AS type, count(*) AS cnt ORDER BY cnt DESC LIMIT 20;Use when: non-developers need to ingest docs; rapid prototyping; no Python environment.

Run `npx skills add neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills --skill neo4j-document-import-skill -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (neo4j-document-import-skill in neo4j-contrib/neo4j-skills) into .claude/skills/neo4j-document-import-skill in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/neo4j-document-import-skill, .gemini/skills/neo4j-document-import-skill, .github/skills/neo4j-document-import-skill and .opencode/skills/neo4j-document-import-skill in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Neo4j Document Import Skill needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip, git and docker-compose) and credentials named OPENAI_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker; A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, WebFetch.
SKILL.md names 6 domains. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: neo4j.com, llm-graph-builder.neo4jlabs.com, graphacademy.neo4j.com, python.langchain.com and docs.llamaindex.ai. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file; pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
