In short

Wrap outside text as data through one door, with escaping and a rule in the system instructions. Then add layers outside the model: a reader with no tools, an allowlist, human confirmation, output checks and attack tests.

After this lesson you can

  • Wrap untrusted text as data with a clear rule
  • Build layered defences because one fence is never enough
