nornicdb-bolt-client

nornicdb-bolt-client is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from orneryd/NornicDB. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting applications to NornicDB through Bolt, the database connection protocol also used by Neo4j. It explains how to use standard Neo4j drivers and handle connection, batching, and retry details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Bolt connections, send Cypher queries, batch writes with UNWIND, classify errors, and implement retries for concurrent workloads.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about client settings and error handling when many writes run at once. Existing Neo4j-compatible drivers can be used instead of a custom client.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nornicdb-bolt-client scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NornicDB Bolt Client (Cypher API)

NornicDB exposes Bolt on port 7687 and is wire-compatible with Neo4j 5. Any upstream Bolt driver works — neo4j-go-driver/v5, neo4j-driver (Python), neo4j-javascript-driver, etc. This skill is what a client must pin to drive NornicDB safely under concurrency.

Connection

Setting Value
URI bolt://<host>:7687
Driver any Neo4j 5 Bolt driver (do not vendor a NornicDB-specific fork)
Database name the literal database name; address it directly via Session.Run(... database=<name>)
HTTP port (search REST, admin) 7474

Server defaults (parsed from LoadDefaults() — these are stable):

Field Default Notes
Database.AsyncWritesEnabled true Async write-behind is on by default. Set NORNICDB_ASYNC_WRITES_ENABLED=false if you need synchronous commit so a queue can drain to a known terminal state.
Database.PersistSearchIndexes false Search-index persistence is opt-in. Set NORNICDB_PERSIST_SEARCH_INDEXES=true if you want BM25/vector indexes to survive restart.
Auth.Enabled false Auth is off by default. Production deployments enable via the YAML auth: field.
Server.BoltPort 7687
Server.HTTPPort 7474

Error classes you will see

NornicDB returns Neo4j-shaped error codes (Neo.ClientError.*, Neo.TransientError.*) plus a stable message text. You can classify by either the code or the substring; the wire shape is intentionally consistent across both commit paths.

Retry these — transient

Wire shape Code class When
commit failed: conflict: node <id> changed after transaction start Neo.TransientError.Transaction.Outdated Optimistic write conflict on a node — another transaction committed first.
commit failed: conflict: edge <id> changed after transaction start Neo.TransientError.Transaction.Outdated Same, for edges.
commit failed: conflict: node <id> has adjacent edge <eid> changed after transaction start Neo.TransientError.Transaction.Outdated Same, propagated through an adjacent edge.
... conflict: edge <id> changed after transaction start (statement-time, no commit failed: prefix) Neo.TransientError.Transaction.Outdated MERGE ... SET on a relationship a peer committed after your transaction began — the edge is live at latest-committed state but invisible to your snapshot. Retry on a fresh transaction converges.
... waiting for transaction lock Neo.TransientError.Transaction.DeadlockDetected Lock contention.
commit failed: constraint violation: ... already exists AND every statement in the group is MERGE-shaped Neo.ClientError.Transaction.TransactionCommitFailed Two writers raced on the same MERGE (n {uid:...}). See "MERGE under concurrent writers" below.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nornicdb-bolt-client is a skill published in the GitHub repository orneryd/NornicDB (858 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,457 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
