Campaign reference

A campaign is one file. It says what to attack, with what, and how to judge the result; the runner does the rest. The same file runs from the command line, from Python and from the terminal app, so a run is reproducible and reviewable.

It reads top to bottom in the order the run happens:

execution wraps all of it: how much runs at once, what happens after an error, and where the results go.

The sections

Section	What it is for
Campaign	Naming the run.
Dataset	Where the goals come from.
Target	The system you are attacking.
Guardrails	Defending the target, to measure against it.
Attacks	The techniques to run.
Evaluation	The judges that decide what counts as a jailbreak.
Execution	How the run behaves.
Command line	Every hackagent command.

Checking a file as you write it

hackagent campaign schema -o campaign.schema.json writes the format as JSON Schema. Point an editor at it and you get completion and inline errors:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./campaign.schema.json
