Teleport's five security-review prompts (sponsored)

1 source · Part of the 23 October 2026 edition

In a post sponsored by Teleport, @dr_cintas shares how the company says 13 engineers found two years' worth of serious bugs in one quarter using simple, targeted prompts rather than complex multi-agent set-ups: frame the review as a hacking challenge, narrow it to the single most critical issue, make the model prove it with the exact attack and line of code, then argue against it, and finally search for the same flaw elsewhere. The results are Teleport's own claims.

Why it mattersThe 'prove it, then argue against it' pattern works far beyond security: use it to check any AI finding before you act on it.
