The important thing is to both set $visual-grid: true; and define your breakpoints before your line @import "neat";

From https://github.com/thoughtbot/neat#using-neat:

The visual grid reflects the changes applied to the grid via the new-breakpoint() mixin, as long as the media contexts are defined before importing Neat.

Whether or not you choose to use a _grid-settings.scss file (as the docs recommend) is up to you. But in order to see the visual grid at all you definitely need to set $visual-grid: true; before importing neat. And in order for the visual grid to behave responsively, you also need to define your breakpoints before importing neat.
