prompt_protect

Open Source

Prompt injection detection, on-device.

prompt_protect is a lightweight scikit-learn model that detects prompt injection attempts in user input. CPU-only, ~102KB, no cloud required. Drop it in front of any LLM to filter jailbreak attempts before they reach your model.

Macro F1

Honest about scope. This is a lightweight heuristic model — fast, local, and useful as a first filter. It is not a replacement for enterprise-grade prompt security. Novel injection patterns and sophisticated jailbreaks may not be caught.
