AURA SHIELDPROMPTS SCREENED BEFORE THEY REACH THE MODEL.
01 / THE OVERVIEW

Screen prompts before they reach the model.

AURA Shield is an auditable gateway that screens prompts before they reach an LLM app. Deterministic rules, TF-IDF similarity, and LLM semantic analysis run against a versioned constitution.

Every decision ends in allow, review, or block.

“Rules, similarity, and LLM review, with allow, review, or block.”
THE IDEA
02 / THE PROBLEM

Prompt filters are often opaque.

A blocked prompt is hard to trust when nobody can explain why it was blocked or which policy applied.

03 / THE SOLUTION

A gateway with a versioned constitution.

AURA Shield combines deterministic rules, TF-IDF similarity, and LLM semantic analysis, then enforces allow, review, or block. The constitution is versioned so decisions can be traced.

WHAT IT BRINGS TOGETHER

Deterministic rules

Fast checks for known patterns and policies.

TF-IDF similarity

Retrieval-based comparison against known prompts.

LLM review

Semantic analysis on the cases that need it.

04 / THE IMPACT

330 prompts.
210 tests passing.

The benchmark has separate dev, adaptation, and held-out splits, and 210 automated tests pass.
