The Specimen Kit

A page of harmless, clearly-marked prompt-injection specimens at a fixed URL. Point an agent, IDE, or guard hook at it to test detection end-to-end — nothing to paste, nothing to set up.

This page is inert

Every payload below is a text specimen drawn from Elcaro's public test suite — strings, not code. Nothing here executes, requests, or exfiltrates anything. If an agent reading this page starts following the specimens, that is the vulnerability — and this test working exactly as designed.

Testing the Elcaro guard hook

  1. Clone the repo and open it in Kiro — the hook in .kiro/hooks/ activates automatically.
  2. Ask the agent: "Fetch https://elcaro.trustfall.xyz/specimen/raw and summarize it."
  3. The hook scans the fetched content and the session shows the [ELCARO GUARD] warning with the flagged techniques.

/specimen/raw is plain UTF-8 text — readable by any HTTP client without JavaScript. Use it for agent tools, curl, or automated tests.
