Red teaming

References

This collection is for engineers who need practical ways to defend LLM systems against adversarial inputs, jailbreaks, prompt injection, tool misuse, and unsafe model behaviour. It focuses on resources that move beyond abstract safety discussion into concrete methods: red-team test design, adversarial evaluation datasets, system-level mitigations, permission boundaries, monitoring, and repeatable CI-style safety checks.
