We are experimenting with it to test and demostrate.**\n\nPrompt Hardener is a tool designed to evaluate and enhance the securify of system prompts for RAG systems.\n\nIt uses LLMs to assess whether measures such as tagging user inputs and securely wrapping system instructions are properly implemented. Additionally, this tool provides improvement suggestions based on prompt hardening strategies, helping RAG system developers build safer and more robust prompts.\n\n## Features\nThe foundational prompt hardening strategies for evaluation and improvement are as follows:\n- Tag user inputs\n- Handle inappropriate user inputs\n- Handle persona switching user inputs\n- Handle new instructions\n- Handle prompt attacks\n- Handle encoding/decoding requirements\n- Use thinking and answer tags\n- Wrap system instructions in a single pair of salted sequence tags\n\nReferences:\n- AWS Machine Learning Blog: [Secure RAG applications using prompt engineering on Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/jp/blogs/machine-learning/secure-rag-applications-using-prompt-engineering-on-amazon-bedrock/)\n\n## Setup\nInstall the packages.\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n### When using OpenAI\nIssue an [API key](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart/create-and-export-an-api-key) and set it to the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY.\n\n### When using Ollama\nInstall [ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) and execute commands like below.\n\n```bash\nollama run llama3.2\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\npython3 src/main.py -h\nusage: main.py [-h] -t TARGET_PROMPT_PATH -am {openai,ollama} -m MODEL [-ui USER_INPUT_DESCRIPTION] -o OUTPUT_PATH\n\nEvaluate and improve the security of a prompt using OpenAI or Ollama API.\n\noptions:\n  -h, --help            show this help message and exit\n  -t TARGET_PROMPT_PATH, --target-prompt-path TARGET_PROMPT_PATH\n                        Path to the file containing the target prompt.\n  -am {openai,ollama}, --api-mode {openai,ollama}\n                        Select the API mode: 'openai' or 'ollama'.\n  -m MODEL, --model MODEL\n                        Specify the model name (e.g., 'gpt-3.5-turbo' or 'gpt-4' for OpenAI; 'llama3.1' for Ollama).\n  -ui USER_INPUT_DESCRIPTION, --user-input-description USER_INPUT_DESCRIPTION\n                        Provide a description or clarification for user inputs in the target prompt.\n  -o OUTPUT_PATH, --output-path OUTPUT_PATH\n                        Path to the file where the improved prompt will be written.\n```\n\nExample [Target Prompt](./example/summary1_en.txt):\n\n```\nYou are a language model tasked with summarizing the comments made by users in a conversation.\nSummarize the comments made by the users in the conversation.
