Query intent is the goal behind the words, and one and the same phrasing can serve it differently — a purchase in one case, a review article in another. Guessing a query's intent from its wording is an easy way to build the wrong page. The actual search results never lie about what Yandex treats the intent to be.
How it reads query intent
For up to about ten queries, the skill checks frequency to prioritize them, then looks at the real Yandex SERP for each significant one — articles, catalogs, product cards, aggregators or video — and classifies the search query intent from what's actually ranking: informational, commercial, navigational or mixed, noting the split for mixed cases. This matters most for queries that look unambiguous on paper but hold a genuinely mixed SERP in practice, where a single page type won't capture the whole demand.
What you get
A chat table: query → frequency → intent → the page type that should serve it, with a short reason based on the SERP makeup, plus warnings where the intent doesn't match what you expected — say, a commercial page was planned but the SERP is dominated by informational articles, which means a different format is needed rather than a rewrite of the existing page.
