How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The reference suggests commands that create and delete real cloud infrastructure and secrets
  • Commands from the skill run in the agent's own environment if the yc CLI is already authorized

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill gives an agent a Yandex Cloud CLI command reference across ten areas: virtual machines, VPC networking with security group rule syntax, IAM and service accounts, object storage, Container Registry and Managed Kubernetes, managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB databases, Lockbox secrets, certificates, DNS zones and load balancers. It separately covers profile switching between environments and the endpoint differences between the Russia and Kazakhstan regions.

Who it is for. For DevOps engineers and developers administering Yandex Cloud infrastructure via the CLI.

Good fit when

  • You need a specific yc command without digging through the docs
  • You need to configure a security group rule or a DNS zone record
  • You need to switch between profiles and the Russia and Kazakhstan regions

Not a fit when

  • You want the agent to run commands itself via MCP: this is a reference, not an executable server; commands run through the agent's own environment
  • You do not use Yandex Cloud: the skill is specific to its CLI

Example request

Create a VM in Kazakhstan with Ubuntu 24.04 and show how to add a security group rule for port 3000

Limitations

This is a command and syntax reference, not an MCP server: the yc CLI itself needs to be installed and authorized separately, and the skill does not check permissions or execute commands on the agent's behalf. The README's clone link points at a different repository name (yandex-cloud-cli-claude-skill); the working path for git clone should be corrected to rodion-m/yandex-cloud-skill.

How to disable. Remove the skill folder from ~/.claude/skills/ or the project's .claude/skills/.

FAQ

Does the skill run yc commands itself?

No, it is a reference for the agent; the actual commands run in the environment where the yc CLI is installed and authorized.

Is Kazakhstan supported separately from Russia?

Yes, the README gives a separate endpoint table and a yc init --region=kz command for the Kazakhstan region.
