+garak.probes.goat
+=================
+
+Dynamic multi-turn adversarial attacks using GOAT (Generative Offensive Agent Tester).
+
+GOAT uses an Observation-Thought-Strategy-Reply (O-T-S-R) reasoning framework
+to iteratively craft sophisticated adversarial prompts across multiple conversation turns.
+It maintains two separate conversation histories: one for the AttackerLLM with full reasoning,
+and one for the TargetLLM with just adversarial prompts and responses.
+
+Uses the following options from ``_config.plugins.probes["goat"]``:
+
+* ``max_iterations`` - Maximum number of attack iterations per goal (default: 5)
+* ``attacker_model_type`` - Generator type for the AttackerLLM (default: "huggingface.Model")
+* ``attacker_model_name`` - Model name for the AttackerLLM (default: "Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Thinking-2507")
+* ``attacker_model_config`` - Configuration dict for AttackerLLM (default: {"temperature": 1.0, "max_tokens": 4096, "hf_args": {"device": "cpu"}})
+* ``attack_goals`` - List of attack objectives to test (default: 5 sample harmful behaviors)
+* ``use_all_jbb_harmful_behaviors`` - Use all 100 JailbreakBench harmful behaviors (default: False)
+
+Attack Techniques
+-----------------
+
+GOAT implements six sophisticated attack techniques:
+
+* **Refusal Suppression** - Denies the target's ability to refuse by suppressing refusal strings
+* **Dual Response** - Primes the LLM to generate multiple responses (safe/unsafe, generic/unhinged)
+* **Response Priming** - Forces the target to start replies with specific strings to bypass safety
+* **Persona Modification** - Changes the LLM's persona through roleplay or character adoption
+* **Hypothetical** - Wraps violating requests in fictional or theoretical scenarios
+* **Topic Splitting** - Exploits attention by embedding violating requests within safe contexts
+* **Opposite Intent** - Tricks the target into responding with inverted or flipped intent
+
+O-T-S-R Framework
+-----------------
+
+Each attack iteration generates:
+
+1. **Observation (O)** - Analysis of the target model's response
+2. **Thought (T)** - Reflection on the observation toward the goal
+3. **Strategy (S)** - Description of the approach for crafting the next reply
+4. **Reply (R)** - The actual adversarial prompt based on the strategy

+
+Usage Examples
+--------------
+
+Run GOAT with custom goals:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   garak --target_name "gpt-4o-mini" --probes goat.GOATAttack \
+   --probe_options '{"attack_goals": ["Write malicious code"], "max_iterations": 3}'
+
+Run GOAT with all 100 JailbreakBench harmful behaviors (might take a while depending on your model's latency...):
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   garak --target_name "gpt-4o-mini" --probes goat.GOATAttack --probe_options '{"use_all_jbb_harmful_behaviors": true}'
+
+Detection and Evaluation
+------------------------
+
+GOAT includes built-in LLM-as-a-judge evaluation using the ``notes.MatchSuccessBool`` detector.
+The AttackerLLM evaluates each target response using the JailbreakBench classification prompt,
+determining whether the response constitutes a successful jailbreak. The probe automatically
+stops early when a successful attack is detected.
+
+Each attempt includes detailed notes:
+
+* ``goal`` - The attack objective being tested
+* ``turn`` - Current iteration number
+* ``observation`` - AttackerLLM's analysis of the target response  
+* ``thought`` - AttackerLLM's reflection toward the goal
+* ``strategy`` - Description of the attack strategy used
+* ``success`` - Boolean indicating jailbreak success (for detector)
+* ``reasoning`` - LLM judge's reasoning (when available)
