What it does
This is the broadest skill in the series: it covers account audit and diagnosis, Unified Performance Campaigns, search and the ad network, Campaign Wizard, product campaigns, targeting, creatives, bids, budgets, strategies, experiments, moderation, Yandex Metrica goals, offline and ecommerce conversions, attribution, Direct Commander and API v5 integrations. Before acting it fixes the advertiser, date range, timezone, VAT treatment, currency, the source of truth for the business outcome, and whether access runs through the browser, Commander, an export or the API. It works read-only until the user explicitly authorizes a specific change: campaign creation, a budget or bid change, a strategy or goal change, archive or delete actions, or publishing creatives. The check_official_docs.py script refreshes three machine-readable Yandex documentation indexes; the 2026-09-01 snapshot covers 433 Direct Help articles and 266 API v5 entries.
Who it is for. For people who need one broad skill covering all of Yandex Direct: from account audits to preparing API v5 integrations with limits and rollback.
Good fit when
- You need a read-only audit of the whole account's structure and performance
- You need to separate dashboard metrics, Metrica and confirmed-payment metrics from each other
- You need to design an API v5 or Direct Commander workflow with limits and rollback
Not a fit when
- You need a narrow tool for just reports or just Library objects: the companion skills already cover that
- You need a platform other than Yandex Direct: the skill is limited to it
- You want to change campaigns with no separate explicit approval: the skill requires confirmation for every change
Example request
Check campaigns over the last 90 days, separate modeled conversions from paid orders, and prepare a change set without changing anything without my confirmationLimitations
The skill's references are a navigation layer, not a frozen copy of Yandex's documentation, and need refreshing with check_official_docs.py since facts drift over time. The package contains no advertiser data or credentials. Install is documented for Codex and separately for Claude Code through the same skills.sh registry.
How to disable. Remove the skills/ya-direct-codex directory from your agent's installed skills.
FAQ
Does the skill work with Claude Code, not just Codex?
Yes, the README separately gives an install command with the --agent claude-code flag through the same skills.sh registry.
How does the skill know the documentation is not stale?
The check_official_docs.py script refreshes three machine-readable Yandex indexes: Help, API v5 and Direct Commander, and the snapshot is dated.

README in short
The README presents the skill as built from the official Help, API v5 and Direct Commander documentation, with no mirroring of that documentation and no advertiser data shipped. It gives install steps for both Codex and Claude Code, a short Russian summary, and 2026-09-01 documentation-snapshot coverage numbers: 433 Help articles and 266 API v5 entries.
