Writing red-team findings builders can use

A compact structure for turning surprising model behavior into an engineering decision.

A spectacular jailbreak is not automatically a useful finding. Engineering teams need to understand the path from attacker influence to system impact.

Write the causal chain

Describe the precondition, adversarial input, model decision, control failure, and resulting action. Include the smallest reproducible transcript and the relevant configuration. Distinguish observed impact from hypothetical impact.

Recommend at the right layer

If the failure is excessive tool authority, rewriting the system prompt is not the primary fix. Tie recommendations to the layer that owns the broken invariant: identity, authorization, orchestration, data handling, interface, or monitoring.

A good finding survives model upgrades because it explains the system condition that made the behavior dangerous.
