Access and checks
How we reviewExtended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

What it does
The skill checks and fixes what affects indexing and site quality in Yandex: canonical and og:url on every page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, a root favicon.ico, and Article or WebSite structured data. Before auditing it re-reads the current Yandex Webmaster support pages instead of relying on memory from a previous run, since the rules change without notice. If yandex-webmaster and yandex-metrika MCP servers are connected, it uses their tools for diagnostics and stats instead of manual browser navigation. Ready code snippets are given for FastAPI with Jinja2 and for a React or Vite SPA, adaptable to any stack. The skill never touches visual design or rewrites content for SEO's sake.
Who it is for. For people running a site on their own stack who want to technically prepare it for Yandex without an agency
Good fit when
- Your site indexes poorly or is not growing in Yandex
- You need to check canonical tags, JSON-LD, robots.txt and favicon before launch
- You have Yandex Webmaster access and need live crawl diagnostics
Not a fit when
- You need Google-only optimization without a Yandex context
- You need Yandex Direct ad setup
- The problem is content quality, not technical SEO: the skill only flags it and leaves the decision to the owner
Example request
Check why the site is not indexing in Yandex and fix the canonical tags and robots.txtLimitations
The project is small: a README, SKILL.md and two reference files, with no stars or track record. The author tested it on two of their own sites (FastAPI and a React SPA); behavior on other stacks is not guaranteed. Live Webmaster diagnostics only work if the site is verified there and an MCP server is connected, otherwise some checks are done manually via curl or WebFetch.
How to disable. Remove the skill folder from .claude/skills in the project or from the global ~/.claude/skills.
FAQ
Does the skill rewrite article content?
No, only the technical part: markup, metadata, canonical tags, robots.txt and favicon. It only flags content quality issues.
Do I need Yandex Webmaster access?
Not required, but with a verified site and the yandex-webmaster MCP connected, diagnostics are more accurate: real crawl codes and indexing status instead of guesses.
How is the Yandex site audit skill different from general SEO skills?
The skill checks and fixes what affects indexing and the site quality index in Yandex: canonical and og:url on every page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, favicon.ico at the domain root and Article structured data. It is tuned to Yandex requirements.
Does the skill edit article content and do I need Webmaster access?
The skill works with the technical side: markup, files and links, not article text. Diagnostics through Yandex Webmaster are available when connected, but canonical, robots and sitemap checks run without it. For Claude Code.

README in short
The README frames the skill as a technical SEO audit for Yandex requirements, not a redesign or content rewrite. It lists the checks: canonical and og:url, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, favicon.ico, JSON-LD for articles and the homepage, and Webmaster diagnostics. It shows two real runs on the author's own sites, including finding a missing og:site_name and a batch of pages flagged as low-value due to thin content.

--- name: yandex-seo-audit description: Аудит и доработка сайта под требования Яндекса (Яндекс.Вебмастер, ИКС, индексация): canonical/og:url, JSON-LD, robots.txt, favicon.ico, диагностика через сам Вебмастер. Use when пользователь просит "оптимизируй сайт под Яндекс", "сделай сайт любимым для Яндекса", "проверь SEO для Яндекса", "почему сайт не индексируется/не растет в Яндексе", или дает ссылки на support.yandex.ru/webmaster и просит применить. Работает на любом стеке, паттерны кода адаптируются под конкретный проект, а не копируются один в один. Do NOT use for Google-only SEO без Яндекс-контекста и для чисто рекламных задач. --- # Аудит сайта под Яндекс Делает сайт технически понятным и любимым для Яндекса: то, что реально проверяется Вебмастером и влияет на ИКС (индекс качества сайта), а не общие SEO-мифы.
