Challenges

A new challenge drops every month. Each challenge is an AI agent with a persona, toolset, and defense. System prompts are fully transparent — players can read them before attempting. The defense has to hold up anyway.

System prompts

system_prompt.txt defines how the agent behaves — personality, capabilities, and defenses. When writing one:

• Give the agent a consistent character
• Describe what tools it has access to
• Define what it's protecting and how
• Assume the attacker has read every word
