DOI Latest Release

Practical templates, checklists, and documentation tools for SMEs working toward EU AI Act readiness.

  • 🧩 Organise your AI inventory
  • 🛡️ Screen higher-risk or unclear use cases
  • 📄 Build baseline governance and documentation support

Designed as a practical starting point for readiness, screening, and internal documentation - not as a substitute for qualified legal or technical review.

⚠️ This toolkit is educational and informational only. It is not legal advice and does not provide compliance assurance.

📦 Core toolkit packs

The practical working materials live in toolkit/ so the repository root stays clean and easy to scan.

Pack Use it when... Start here
Starter Pack You need a fast internal starting point toolkit/starter-pack/START-HERE.md
Vendor Assessment Pack You are buying or renewing AI-enabled SaaS toolkit/vendor-pack/README.md
Sector Packs You need context-specific examples toolkit/sector-packs/README.md
Evidence Pack You need documentation structure docs/guide/13-evidence-pack-index.md

📊 Structured technical layer

The toolkit includes optional structured data and automation helpers for teams that want to reuse the materials programmatically.

🧠 TypeScript quiz engine

The quiz engine provides fully typed readiness assessment scoring logic for AI governance assessments.

Location: .github/tools/quiz-engine/

Supports programmatic scoring, validation, and tool integration. See .github/tools/quiz-engine/README.md for implementation details.

🗄 SQLite schema

Optional evidence pack database structure for tracking AI systems, risk screenings, vendors, and incidents.

Location: .github/project/database/

Use this schema if you want to manage toolkit data in a structured database. Supports queries for audit trails, compliance documentation, and risk management workflows. See .github/project/database/README.md for schema documentation.

🧩 YAML registries

Machine-readable toolkit resource inventory, official EU sources, and use-case scenarios.

Location: .github/tools/data/

Includes toolkit registry, official EU AI Act sources, and compliance readiness use cases. Useful for automation, site generation, and tool integration. See .github/tools/data/README.md for details.

✅ JSON Schemas

Validation schemas for AI system inventory, risk screening, and vendor assessment data.

Location: .github/tools/schemas/

Use these schemas to validate structured data, integrate with third-party tools, or build custom automation. See .github/tools/schemas/README.md for schema details and examples.

🐳 Container package / run locally

This project publishes a lightweight container image for running the static site locally:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/artemhobotun/eu-ai-act-toolkit-site:latest

Then open:

  5. Publish a simple internal AI use policy.
  6. Train staff on approved use, human review, and incident reporting.
  7. Review the register and templates on a regular cadence.
  8. Follow the small-company guide: docs/guide/12-how-to-use-this-toolkit-in-a-small-company.md
  9. Keep an evidence pack index: docs/guide/13-evidence-pack-index.md
🧩 Templates and checklists

Use the templates as a practical starting point, then adapt them to your sector, product, and internal processes.

Starter Pack

Build the ZIP locally:

./.github/tools/scripts/build-starter-pack.sh

The generated ZIP is for internal use. Completed documents should not be uploaded to public GitHub issues.

Basic risk screening

The screening form helps identify whether a use case deserves deeper review. It asks about people-affecting decisions, personal data, sensitive sectors, biometric or sensitive use, human oversight, and vendor training on customer data.

For the full guide, see docs/guide/05-basic-risk-screening.md.

🏢 Sector packs and examples

Who this is for

  • SMEs and startups adopting AI tools
  • founders and operations leads

🛡️ Trust, maintenance, and source notes

This toolkit should be reviewed regularly because EU AI Act implementation guidance, standards, and enforcement practice may change over time.

This toolkit is based on Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and keeps the guidance intentionally practical and conservative.

Run local quality checks:

./.github/tools/scripts/check-toolkit-quality.sh
./.github/tools/scripts/check-common-links.sh
