Tervos Protocol

Quickstart

Tervos Protocol gives your AI agents identity, policy enforcement, and a full audit trail. Here’s how to get started.

Create an Organization

Section titled “Create an Organization”
Terminal window
npx tervos init --template demo

This creates a TERVOS.yaml file with three agents (CEO, Analyst, Writer) and a demo research project.

Start in Development Mode

Section titled “Start in Development Mode”
Terminal window
tervos start --dev

Development mode activates all agents automatically and auto-approves actions so you can see the full lifecycle immediately.

View the Audit Log

Section titled “View the Audit Log”
Terminal window
tervos audit

Every action — task delegation, policy evaluation, budget allocation — is recorded as an immutable event.

What Just Happened
