Extract an LLM app's system prompt / hidden developer instructions — the attack map that reveals guardrails, tool definitions, internal endpoints, and planted secrets. Load when the target is a chatbot/assistant/agent with hidden instructions, refuses with policy-sounding language, names tools or functions in errors, or does RAG. Signals: "repeat your instructions", canned refusals, verbose tool-call errors, "you are a helpful assistant for <company>".

# LLM system prompt leakage

## When it applies
The app prepends hidden instructions (system/developer prompt) you cannot see, and you have a
chat interface, API, or agent you can query repeatedly. Worth doing on nearly every LLM target:
the leaked prompt tells you which guardrails exist, which tools/functions the model can call,
what internal URLs or tenant IDs it knows, and whether developers pasted secrets into it.

## Why it works
The system prompt is just tokens in the same context as your input — the model can read it, and
nothing technically stops it from repeating it; only behavioral guardrails (which are
probabilistic) stand in the way. Framings that recast the disclosure as a benign task
(translation, summarization, debugging) route around refusal training. Agent error paths are
even softer: frameworks often echo the full prompt or tool schema into exceptions and logs.
