-# Guardrails TypeScript
+# OpenAI Guardrails: TypeScript (Preview)
 
-A TypeScript framework for building safe and reliable AI systems with OpenAI Guardrails. This package provides enhanced type safety and Node.js integration for AI safety and reliability.
+This is the TypeScript version of OpenAI Guardrails, a package for adding configurable safety and compliance guardrails to LLM applications. It provides a drop-in wrapper for OpenAI's TypeScript / JavaScript client, enabling automatic input/output validation and moderation using a wide range of guardrails.
+
+Most users can simply follow the guided configuration and installation instructions at [guardrails.openai.com](https://guardrails.openai.com/).

+## Jailbreak Definition
+
+Detects attempts to bypass safety or policy constraints via manipulation (prompt injection, role‑play as an unfiltered agent, obfuscation, or overriding system instructions). Focuses on adversarial intent to elicit restricted outputs, not on general harmful content itself.
+
+### What it detects
+
+- Attempts to override or bypass ethical, legal, or policy constraints
+- Requests to roleplay as an unrestricted or unfiltered entity
+- Prompt injection tactics that attempt to rewrite/override system instructions
+- Social engineering or appeals to exceptional circumstances to justify restricted output
+- Indirect phrasing or obfuscation intended to elicit restricted content
+
+### What it does not detect
+
+- Directly harmful or illegal requests without adversarial framing (covered by Moderation)
+- General offensive/unsafe content without attempts to bypass safety systems (see NSFW/Moderation)
