Description

Developers need help turning their own application's behavior and risks into meaningful RAMPART tests, rather than adapting a generic example unaided. This adds RAMPARTner, a portable onboarding and learning skill that introduces itself with "Howdy! I'm your RAMPARTner" and guides that process interactively.

  • Guides source selection (main or the latest release), application-specific integration, an agreed safety claim and evidence requirements, first-test execution, result discovery, and reproducible reruns. Teaches the relevant concept at each step and helps users become independent.
  • Recommends code-grounded probes, attacks, and payloads; helps implement missing local strategies and distinguishes them from framework feature requests. Missing evidence must not silently become SAFE.
  • Packages the self-contained skill with RAMPART and documents installation for supporting coding assistants, with links from the README and getting-started navigation.

The skill supplies instructions, not a separate agent runtime or enforced state machine. Behavior remains dependent on the host assistant, its tools, and its permissions. Follow-up guidance supports onboarding; ongoing CI and suite management are outside its remit.

Breaking changes

None.

Checklist

  • pre-commit run --all-files passes
  • Tests added or updated for changes
  • Documentation updated

Added regression coverage for skill metadata, branding, conversational guidance, and executable offline examples, including a negative control. All 13 targeted tests passed, along with targeted formatting, lint, and type checks. Wheel and source-distribution checks confirmed the packaged skill resource. The full all-files pre-commit command was not run.

Package a portable onboarding and learning skill that guides application-specific setup, evidence agreements, first tests, results, and relevant follow-up coverage. Add installation documentation, navigation links, and regression coverage for the skill contract and offline examples.
