I have yet to do it - correct
I have yet to do it means I have not done it yet, or I still have to do it.

"I have already done it" is certainly a valid sentence, but it means the opposite of "I have yet to do it".

We use already in statements about the past. Example:
Jack has already done it. (Perhaps the task was accomplished sooner than antcipated.)
We use yet in statements about the future. Example:
I haven't done it yet. (I expect to do it, but at this moment I have not, in fact, done it.)
