Running it, start to finish

  1. List everything the agent can change in the real world.
  2. Paste the guardrails into your existing system prompt.
  3. Run the test suite before deploying and after every change.

What you get back

The output this produces, every time.

  • Writes guardrails as testable rules rather than as general encouragement.
  • Addresses instruction injection explicitly, which is rarely covered and is the most serious failure mode.
  • Pairs every guardrail with a test case, since one without a test is only an intention.

Getting better results

Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.

  • Run the injection test. Any agent that reads external content can be instructed by it, and almost no system prompt addresses this.
  • Re-run the suite after every prompt change. Guardrails are easy to break with an unrelated edit, and nothing announces it.
  • Make escalation cheap. An agent reluctant to hand over is the one that causes the incident. Over-escalation is a much smaller cost.
