Overview

About

Maintained by Indraneel ChakrabortyFirst published 2026-05-281 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A model-agnostic safety layer for developers building with large language model (LLM) applications. Maps starter controls to the Open Worldwide Application Security Project Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications 2025 risk categories https://genai.owasp.org/llm-top-10/ via a modular rule engine. Supports regular-expression rules, lightweight natural language processing (NLP) intent checks, optional scanners, and semantic large language model reviewer checks on prompts, conversations, retrieved context, tool inputs and outputs, streaming chunks, and model outputs. Supports workflows with the 'Ollama' local web service https://ollama.com/ via 'ellmer', remote reviewer endpoints, and other chat interfaces callable from 'R'. Intended as an experimental guardrail layer that teams should evaluate against their own workflows before relying on it in production.

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ineelhere/llmshieldr")

Development version from ineelhere/llmshieldr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-llmshieldr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-llmshieldr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-llmshieldr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
