From d1aaa626c9022718615409e155795ebc4247e570 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Francisco M Humarang Jr." Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 22:21:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Enhance documentation to reflect the addition of 22+ mutation types in Flakestorm, including advanced prompt-level and system/network-level attacks. Update README.md, API_SPECIFICATION.md, CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md, USAGE_GUIDE.md, and related files to improve clarity on mutation strategies, testing scenarios, and configuration options. Emphasize the importance of comprehensive testing for production AI agents and provide detailed descriptions for each mutation type. --- README.md | 66 ++++--- docs/API_SPECIFICATION.md | 59 ++++++- docs/CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md | 112 +++++++++++- docs/USAGE_GUIDE.md | 238 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/flakestorm/core/config.py | 28 ++- src/flakestorm/mutations/templates.py | 237 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/flakestorm/mutations/types.py | 123 +++++++++++-- 7 files changed, 804 insertions(+), 59 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 96d7432..c3860f0 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -36,6 +36,20 @@ Instead of running one test case, Flakestorm takes a single "Golden Prompt", gen > **"If it passes Flakestorm, it won't break in Production."** +## Production-First by Design + +Flakestorm is designed for teams already running AI agents in production.
