Red-team strategy

SequentialBreak (narrative nesting)

sequential-break

Hides the objective inside a benign structure the model is asked to complete — the missing final line of a two-character dialogue, one question in a themed question bank, or the walkthrough of a mid-game puzzle level. The target rides along as an incidental part of a larger innocuous task.

YAML config

evalguard.config.yaml

redteam:
  strategies:
    - sequential-break

CLI

bash

# "sequential-break" is layered onto attacks during red-team scans.
# List every available encoding/obfuscation strategy:
evalguard list strategies

Combine with attack plugins to generate adversarial payloads. The strategy wraps each base payload before it's sent to your target, testing whether the model decodes / unwraps the transform and follows the embedded instruction.
