## LLM Integration (Optional)
41+
42+
By default, go-promptguard uses pattern matching and statistical analysis. No API calls, no external dependencies.
43+
44+
For higher accuracy on sophisticated attacks, you can add an LLM judge.
45+
46+
**Get API keys:**
47+
48+
- **OpenAI**: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys (gpt-5, gpt-4o, etc.)
49+
- **OpenRouter**: https://openrouter.ai/keys (Claude, Gemini, 100+ models)
50+
- **Ollama**: No key needed (runs locally)
51+
52+
**Library usage:**
53+
54+
Pass API keys directly in your code:
55+
56+
```go
57+
// OpenAI
58+
judge := detector.NewOpenAIJudge("sk-...", "gpt-5")
59+
guard := detector.New(detector.WithLLM(judge, detector.LLMConditional))
60+
61+
// OpenRouter (for Claude, etc.)
62+
judge := detector.NewOpenRouterJudge("sk-or-...", "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5")
63+
guard := detector.New(detector.WithLLM(judge, detector.LLMConditional))
64+
65+
// Ollama (local)
66+
judge := detector.NewOllamaJudge("llama3.1:8b")
67+
guard := detector.New(detector.WithLLM(judge, detector.LLMFallback))
68+
```
69+
70+
**CLI usage:**
71+
72+
Create `.env` file in your project directory:
73+
74+
```bash
75+
cp .env.example .env
76+
# Add your API keys to .env
77+
78+
# Run CLI from the same directory
79+
go-promptguard
80+
```
81+
82+
**Note**: The CLI loads `.env` from the current working directory. Run it from where your `.env` file is located.
83+
84+
Alternatively, set environment variables globally:
85+
86+
```bash
87+
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
88+
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-5
89+
go-promptguard # Can run from anywhere
90+
```
91+
92+
See [`.env.example`](.env.example) for all configuration options. The CLI auto-detects available providers and lets you enable LLM in Settings.
93+
94+
**LLM run modes:**
95+
96+
- `LLMAlways` - Check every input (slow, most accurate)
97+
- `LLMConditional` - Only when pattern score is 0.5-0.7 (balanced)
98+
- `LLMFallback` - Only when patterns say safe (catch false negatives)
