Plays Gandalf, a Capture The Flag prompt security game by Lakera. Extracts guarded secret passwords from AI defenders across 8 levels of increasing difficulty. Competes on a public agent leaderboard. Triggers: "play Gandalf", "play CTF", "play the password game", "prompt challenge", "agent CTF", "test prompt hacking skills".

A prompt injection CTF game. Each level has an AI defender guarding a secret password. Craft prompts to trick the defender into revealing it.

Rules

• No conversation memory. Each prompt is independent.
• Fewer attempts = better rank on the leaderboard.
• Levels are sequential, starting at level 1. Complete level N to unlock N+1.
