Understand the problem

Adversarial testing: jailbreaks, injections, data exfiltration and the process for finding them first.

Attempt it yourself

Sketch your approach before reading the solution — that's what interviews test.

Study the solution

Red-teaming is deliberately attacking your own AI system to find failures before users and attackers do: jailbreaks (overriding safety/system instructions), prompt injection via documents and tool results, data exfiltration (leaking system prompts, other tenants' context, PII), tool abuse (steering an agent into destru

Read the code

Adversarial suite as permanent CI

# CI: pass-rate must be 100% on class=extraction and class=cross-tenant; any fail blocks release
