README

ytcli — Yandex Tracker from the command line

`ytcli` is a command-line client for **Yandex Tracker** (Яндекс Трекер) and the organisation's **Yandex Wiki** (Яндекс Вики), written for two readers at once: a person at a terminal, and an AI agent. It exists because the usual way to give an agent Tracker — an **MCP** server — spends tens of thousands of context tokens before a single question is asked, and then answers with raw API payloads.

This costs nothing until it is called, and answers in about fifteen lines.

Released on [Homebrew](https://github.com/ormeilu/homebrew-tap), [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/yandex-tracker-cli), [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/yandex-tracker-cli/) and [Releases](https://github.com/ormeilu/yandex-tracker-cli/releases). Everything in the command tree is built: issues, worklogs, timers, checklists, links, queues, boards and sprints, organisation-wide fields and templates, projects, portfolios, goals and attachments, and the Wiki's pages, comments, files, dynamic tables and access, reads and writes. What was ruled out, and why, is in [docs/TODO.md](docs/TODO.md) and the [issues](https://github.com/ormeilu/yandex-tracker-cli/issues).
