+description: |
+      System prompt template for Meta's LlamaGuard family (LlamaGuard-7B / Llama-Guard-3-8B /
+      Llama-Guard-3-1B) used with SelfAskTrueFalseScorer. This is a working baseline that fits
+      PyRIT's system-prompt + user-message contract. Users who want strict fidelity to the
+      official chat template (with explicit User:/Agent: conversation framing) should override
+      this prompt via SelfAskTrueFalseScorer's `true_false_system_prompt_path` argument.
+
+      LlamaGuard is fine-tuned to emit one of:
+        - "safe"
+        - "unsafe\\nS<n>,S<m>,..."
+      regardless of system-prompt phrasing. Pair this with `parse_llamaguard_response` and
+      pass the parser to SelfAskTrueFalseScorer's `response_parser` argument.
