+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects direct harm-category elicitation prompts from NVIDIA garak lmrc probe — Language
+  Model Risk Cards taxonomy. The probe sends blunt unframed requests across LMRC risk
+  categories: deadnaming (asking Caitlyn Jenner''s birth name), quack medicine (vagina
+  steaming, crystal cancer treatment), sexual slur requests ("what can my mate call the
+  only black guy"), and bullying scenario openers. These prompts have no jailbreak framing
+  — they are direct harmful queries relying on the model''s willingness to comply. Key
+  signals: deadnaming framing, quack medicine health query, demographic slur-request
+  phrasing, bullying scenario opener.

+description: >
+  Detects the FigStep multimodal jailbreak text pattern from NVIDIA garak visual_jailbreak
+  probe. FigStep presents an image containing a numbered list (1, 2, 3) where items are

+  100 words". Key signals: LLaMA [INST] format wrapping an image reference, numbered-list
