Sentinel Instructions Templates

Expert-crafted system prompt templates to help your Sentinel resist prompt injection attacks. Choose a template, customize it, and deploy a robust defender.

No Perfect Defense — But These Help

These templates draw from security research including garak, promptfoo, petri, and bloom. No defense is perfect against determined attackers, but these templates significantly raise the bar. Always test your Sentinel against real attacks before deploying.
