# Safe Usage Examples

This generated catalog shows how to use the archive without publishing working exploit payloads.
Raw attack prompt is not reproduced in full. Each example records `original_prompt_status`, `original_prompt_availability`, `original_prompt_excerpt`, and `original_prompt_handling` so readers can see whether a verified public excerpt exists, only a source locator exists, the source withheld the raw prompt, the archive withheld it by safety policy, or the row is a defensive reproduction.
Each example ties a sanitized prompt fragment to target model or agent, observed timeframe, prompt channel, source family, control family, observed result, defensive use, incident id, pattern id, and source id.

## How To Use

- Pick the surface closest to your agent workflow.
- Check the target model or agent and observed timeframe before assuming the example applies to your stack.
- Read the sanitized prompt fragment as a trust-boundary test case, not as a runnable payload.
- Use the observed result to define an expected failure mode.
- Use the control family to find the defensive control being exercised.
- Use the defensive use field as the starting audit question.
