GovKit One Pager

Governance that lives in the codebase,
not in pdfs no one reads.

GovKit generates three artifacts your AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) use during execution: a govkit.md governance file, an evidence manifest, and a Python-based deterministic compliance check. Regulatory controls become project context. Compliance happens at the moment code is written, not after the audit arrives.

The problem

Governance lives in the wrong place

Inside most companies, compliance is a cost center: a legal problem, an engineering ticket that never clears the backlog. So governance gets bolted on at the end, or skipped entirely. Users feel that.

The resolution

Teach the AI what good governance looks like

Encode your values as policy. Run deterministic tests automatically. When governance speaks a language AI understands, it stops being a human burden and starts being a system property: baked in from line one, present in every decision, invisible to the builder, felt by the user.

How it works

Answer intake

Five question groups: users, geography, regulated data, data behaviors, business context.

Regulations matched

Deterministic rules (not LLM judgment) identify which regulations apply to your project.

Three artifacts generated

A govkit.md governance file, an evidence manifest, and a Python-based deterministic compliance check.

Add to project

Drop the files in your repo. AI coding agents read them. Compliance travels with the code.

What the generated artifacts contain

Matched regulations

Which rules apply and exactly why, derived from your intake profile.

Control requirements

Concrete statements an AI coding agent must follow. Not aspirational policy.

Failure conditions

Explicit definition of what non-compliance looks like for each control.

Evidence manifest

A structured list of artifacts that must exist to demonstrate compliance to a reviewer.

Deterministic checks

A Python-based test suite that verifies controls are met. Runs in CI, not in someone's head.

Acceptance criteria

Minimum bar before a feature is considered compliant. Ship-ready signal.
