Spikee Target Implementation Skill

This skill guides users through implementing a Spikee target module.

Domain

Creating Spikee target modules for testing LLMs, LLM applications, and guardrails.

Capabilities

This skill guides users through implementing a Spikee Target module by:

1. Determining target type (LLM vs Guardrail vs Multi-turn)
2. Selecting appropriate base class (Target, SimpleMultiTarget, or MultiTarget)
3. Implementing required methods (get_description, get_available_option_values, process_input)
4. Configuring authentication patterns (API keys, OAuth2, Managed Identity, GCP ADC, etc.)
5. Handling guardrail triggers and response parsing
6. Configuring proxy and TLS options

User Interaction

The skill helps users:

1. Gather target system information (HTTP request/response samples, authentication details)
2. Answer a decision tree to select the correct base class
3. Match their authentication/transport pattern to Spikee templates
4. Implement the target with all required error handling

Common Use Cases

• Creating targets for custom LLM APIs (OpenAI-compatible and native SDKs)
• Implementing multi-turn chatbot targets with session management
• Building guardrail targets that return bool (True=bypassed, False=blocked)
• Adding authentication handlers (API keys, bearer tokens, OAuth2, Azure IMDS, GCP ADC)

Dependencies

• Requires Spikee installed with target templates
• Follows spikee.templates module conventions

Available Base Classes

Authentication Patterns Supported

1. Static API Key / Bearer Token
2. Static Session Cookie
3. Username / Password (Form Login)
4. Azure Managed Identity (IMDS)
5. GCP Application Default Credentials
6. Auth0 / OAuth2 Refresh Token
7. Internal JWT (Self-Fetched)

Response Handling

• LLM targets: Return string (LLM reply), raise GuardrailTrigger for blocks
• Guardrail targets: Return bool (True=bypassed, False=blocked)
