Use this to add safety and security guardrails to an LLM/agent app - blocking prompt injection, PII leakage, jailbreaks, toxic output, off-topic responses, or invalid structured output. Trigger on "add guardrails", "prevent prompt injection", "stop PII leaks", "validate the model's output", "make this safe for production", especially for regulated/finance/enterprise use.

# Add guardrails to an LLM app Guardrails are validation layers on the **input** (before the model) and **output** (before the user/downstream). They're mandatory for regulated and enterprise deployments. Treat them as tested code, and *observe* them (a guardrail that fires silently is useless). ## Two layers, distinct jobs **Input guardrails** (run before the LLM): - **Prompt-injection / jailbreak detection** - reject or sanitize inputs trying to override instructions. - **PII detection** - flag/redact sensitive data before it reaches a third-party model (see the `redact-pii-for-tracing` skill for the tracing side). - **Topic / policy** - reject off-scope requests. **Output guardrails** (run before returning): - **Structured-output validation** - enforce the schema (JSON/enum/type); repair or reject on failure. - **Toxicity / safety** - block harmful content. - **Groundedness / hallucination** - check the answer is supported by the retrieved context (for RAG). - **Sensitive-data egress** - ensure the response isn't leaking secrets/PII. ## Implementation shape 1. **Pick a library** - [Guardrails AI](https://github.com/guardrails-ai/guardrails) (validators + structured output), [LLM Guard](https://github.com/protectai/llm-guard) (PII, injection, toxicity), or [NeMo Guardrails](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Guardrails) (programmable rails). Don't hand-roll regexes for security. 2. **Wrap input** → validate/sanitize → call model → **wrap output** → validate → return or re
