Understand Yandex Metrica in plain language
The plugin checks counters, traffic and conversions, explains findings in plain language, and can safely create or fix a goal after your exact confirmation.
Clear audits and protected goal setup
The plugin guides setup of a customer-owned Yandex OAuth application, supports multiple accounts and finds accessible counters, permissions, goals, filters and key settings. With permission, it can inspect an existing OAuth application in the signed-in browser and prefers a compatible Yandex Direct application over creating a duplicate.
Reading data for audits and reports does not change the account. Separately, if the evidence shows that a conversion goal is missing or incorrect, the plugin can prepare a protected plan to create or update one JavaScript or URL goal. A real change requires exact confirmation of the full SHA-256 and is independently read back from Yandex Metrica.
What the plugin does
- Guides OAuth connection, protects the token, supports multiple accounts and helps reuse a compatible customer-owned Yandex application.
- Finds counters, permissions, goals, filters and key settings and checks website counter installation.
- Creates baseline audits and reports across sources, pages, devices, geography, audience and confirmed goals.
- Adapts reports for lead generation, ecommerce, content and SaaS.
- Compares completed periods and produces up to three conservative evidence-based priorities.
- Prepares and, after separate exact confirmation, applies a plan to create or update one JavaScript or URL goal.
Control and security
- The normal analytics transport remains read-only; every write outside the four allowlisted goal operations is blocked before the network.
- Before goal creation or update, the plugin creates a fresh immutable plan. Apply requires an exact phrase with the full SHA-256, a repeated preflight and an independent readback.
- Requests go directly from the user computer to Yandex, while tokens stay in DPAPI, Keychain or Secret Service.
- Reports separate confirmed facts, limitations, hypotheses and data gaps and keep local SHA-256 history.
Capability boundaries
- Changes are limited to creating or updating one JavaScript or URL goal; deletion and bulk operations are unavailable.
- Does not change counter settings, filters, segments or permissions and does not expose arbitrary HTTP requests.
- Does not use Logs API or export unaggregated personal data.
- Does not upload costs, CRM data, calls or offline conversions or send reports to external channels.
Why project context matters
When the plugin runs inside a project, it can check the counter installation signal in local code and connect reports to the website business model. A public HTTPS URL is also supported, but the local project provides more verifiable evidence.
The plugin first proves what is blocking measurement. A goal change appears only as a separate, verifiable plan.
Useful for professionals too
An analyst or marketer gets a consistent audit, completed-period comparison and useful breakdowns without repeating manual report assembly. Confirmed goal roles preserve business meaning and remain separate from assumptions.
When the problem genuinely belongs to a goal, the specialist gets the exact before state, the proposed change, a warning about historical comparability and a verification method. The plugin does not replace professional judgement or apply the plan without separate confirmation of its full SHA-256.
Installation and updates
- 01
Open the public repository
Go to GitHub and download or clone the latest stable Yandex Metrica Advisor release.
- 02
Install the plugin
Ask Codex to install it from the Anilau catalog, or point Codex or Claude Code to the downloaded folder.
- 03
Connect the account
Open a new task and ask for help connecting Yandex Metrica. The agent prepares OAuth while sign-in, 2FA, account selection and consent remain under your control.
- 04
Run the first audit
Choose the counter and ask it to explain measurement quality, traffic and conversions. Full instructions are in the README.

https://github.com/anilau-agent-plugins/yandex-metrikaFrequently asked questions
Can the plugin change a goal?
Yes, but only to create or update one JavaScript or URL goal through a protected plan. Apply requires exact confirmation of the full SHA-256, followed by an independent readback.
What can the plugin not change?
It cannot delete goals, perform bulk operations or change counter settings, filters, segments or permissions. Arbitrary API methods and endpoints are blocked locally.
Is the plugin really free?
Yes. The repository is public on GitHub under the MIT license.
Where does Metrica data go?
Requests go directly between the user computer and Yandex. The plugin does not send data or tokens to Anilau.
