What it does
The skill teaches the agent to reason correctly about Yandex Direct: not to confuse Direct operators with Google Ads match types, not to mistake phone clicks for calls, not to compare Search and YAN by CTR alone, not to recommend automated strategies before conversion measurement is trustworthy. A compact SKILL.md routes the agent to focused references on account structure, Unified Performance Campaigns, keywords, audiences, moderation, strategies and Metrika goals, so the full manual is not loaded on every request. It never connects to the Direct API and changes nothing in the account; only a person launches or pauses campaigns.
Who it is for. For advertisers and business owners who plan and review Direct campaigns with a Codex agent but are not ready to grant API access.
Good fit when
- You need to plan account or Unified Performance Campaign structure before launch
- You need a campaign plan audit or a pre-launch checklist for Metrika, goals, UTM
- It matters that the agent does not confuse Direct terms with Google Ads terminology
Not a fit when
- You need to actually manage campaigns via API: this skill is deliberately read-only
- You need current interface limits or moderation rules without re-checking: the skill requires a fresh look at official Yandex pages
Example request
Audit my Yandex Direct campaign plan, but do not change anything in the accountLimitations
Install targets Codex via the install-skill-from-github.py script or manual copy into the skills directory. Direct rules and limits change often; the references in the repo were last reviewed on 2026-09-10, and the skill explicitly requires re-checking official Yandex pages before a live launch. The project is independent and not affiliated with Yandex.
How to disable. Delete the skills/yandex-direct folder from your Codex or other client's skills directory.
FAQ
Can the skill launch a campaign itself?
No, it does not connect to the Direct API and cannot change, launch, pause or fund campaigns.
Does it work outside Codex?
Yes, the SKILL.md format is open; the skills/yandex-direct folder can be copied into any compatible client's skills directory.

README in short
The README explains why the skill exists: Direct differs meaningfully from Google Ads, and the skill prevents common category errors around operators and negative keywords. It covers progressive reference loading via SKILL.md, two install paths for Codex and other clients, example prompts in English and Russian, and a source-recheck policy given how often Direct changes.
