What it does

The skill gives an agent commands for Yandex Direct through the REST API v5: account audits, a campaign list, campaign creation with ad groups and ads, keyword and negative-keyword management, CTR, CPC and spend reports, optimization suggestions and budget analysis. The audit runs 55 checks across six categories (conversions and Metrika, wasted spend, account structure, keywords, ads, settings and targeting); a weighted score turns into an A-F grade. The kit includes reference docs with Russian market CTR, CPC and CVR benchmarks and a bidding-strategy decision table.

Who it is for. For PPC specialists and marketers running Yandex Direct campaigns who want to hand the routine work to an agent.

Good fit when

  • You need a quick Yandex Direct account audit with a score and a list of issues
  • You want an agent to create a campaign or ads without opening the Direct interface
  • You need regular CTR, CPC and spend reports checked against market benchmarks

Not a fit when

  • You need ads in Google Ads, VK or another system: the skill covers only Direct
  • You have no Direct API access or OAuth token: the skill will not work without them

Example request

Audit my Yandex Direct account and show me what is wasting budget

Limitations

You need your own Direct API access and OAuth token, issued by Yandex on request. Credentials are stored in a plain JSON file on disk, and file permissions have to be restricted manually. The project is young and built around one agency's own case, with no formal releases or tests. The integration scripts are written in bash for a Unix environment.

How to disable. Delete the yandex-direct folder from your agent's skills directory, for example ~/.claude/skills/yandex-direct.

FAQ

How many checks does the audit run?

55 weighted checks across six categories, with a 0-100 score turned into an A-F grade.

Where is the Direct token stored?

In ~/.secrets/yandex-direct.json along with client_id and client_secret; you have to restrict access to that file yourself.

README in short

The README presents the skill as the first open source Yandex Direct tool for AI agents, built for OpenClaw and compatible with Claude Code. It lists eight commands, a 55-check audit structure across six weighted categories, Russian market CTR, CPC and CVR benchmarks, and setup steps: applying for API access, getting an OAuth token, saving credentials and copying the skill folder. The authors say they built it in one evening to set up their own campaigns and ran the audit on their own account. MIT license.
