# Install governed agents and apps. Or build your own.

The KYE™ developer front door. Drop a governed agent into your stack off the shelf, or build your own with the Agent Dev Kit™ — either way, KYE Protocol™ governs it at the action boundary.

Every agent here is **purpose-bound**, **kill-switched**, **evidence-sealed** and **replay-provable** from public keys alone. No agent acts without resolving authority first — so the moment it touches a record, a payment or a customer, you have a signed, regulator-replayable answer to "who let it?". Bring your runtime; KYE™ governs the consequence.

Install — off the shelf

## 24 governed agents, ready to adopt

A growing library of bounded, governed agents — each a first-class KYE™ principal with a signed authority profile, a kill switch and an Evidence Pack™ on every action. Adopt one as-is, or scope it to your tenant. Browse the full set on the [Governed Agents™](https://kyeprotocol.com/governed-agents/) family page; each agent has its own discoverable page with its bounded purpose, frameworks and SKU.

Build — your own

## Governed-by-default with the Agent Dev Kit™

Need an agent that does not exist yet? Build it with the [Agent Dev Kit™](https://kyeprotocol.com/agent-dev-kit/) — every scaffolded agent emits the KYE™ evidence-event family out of the box, so it is governed from its first action, not bolted on later.

- **Scaffold.** `kye agent new` — start from the hello, KYC or payment template.
- **Govern by default.** Every action emits the `kye.*.v1` evidence family; nothing acts without resolving authority.
- **Test + deploy.** `kye agent test` and `kye agent deploy` — conformance fixtures and the Evidence Pack™ come with it.
- **Verify.** Every decision is replay-provable offline from the publisher's JWKS — no vendor cooperation required.

[Open the Agent Dev Kit™](https://kyeprotocol.com/agent-dev-kit/) [Developer quickstart](https://kyeprotocol.com/developers/quickstart/)

Whether you install a governed agent or build your own, the contract is the same: no valid authority, no finality. Every action a KYE™-governed agent takes produces signed evidence a regulator, court or auditor can replay offline using only the publisher's JWKS.
