Developer-first LLM/RAG safety audits for CI/CD.
Open-core CLI that scores Faithfulness, Answer Relevancy, and Prompt Injection resistance against your API — BYOK (OpenAI, xAI/Grok, or offline mock). Fail the build when quality drops.

Case study: qtuanph/chatbot-rag
Vietnamese production-style RAG (LlamaIndex + Qdrant hybrid). Two opt-in contributions landed in July 2026:
| PR | What | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| #25 | AuditAI quality-gate scaffold (tests/auditai/: dataset from public docs, weak mock adapter, workflow example only) |
Merged |
| #26 | Offline retrieval harness — Recall@k / MRR / nDCG@k (no live LLM required for scoring) | Merged |
How we worked (playbook, not pitch):
- Public docs only for smoke questions — no private corpora.
- Honest metrics — weak mock intentionally fails under a real judge (Grok/OpenAI); committed config stays
judge.provider: mock+ env-based target URL so CI does not burn secrets by default. - Depth over spam — after the quality-gate merge, a second PR helped the maintainer measure hybrid retrieval offline before tuning knobs.
- Opt-in — badge only if the maintainer wants it; no forced GitHub Action in the critical path.
Install the same tooling:
pip install auditai-cli
auditai init # or copy a tests/auditai/ scaffold from a merged PRWant a similar scaffold on another public RAG repo? See docs/gtm/GROWTH_HACK.md or open an issue.

auditai run --config examples/rag_demo/auditai.ymlSee examples/rag_demo/auditai.yml for a full working example. Core fields:
- target — HTTP endpoint, body template, response map (
answer,contexts) - dataset — path to JSON / JSONL / CSV
- metrics — thresholds for faithfulness / answer_relevancy / prompt_injection
- judge — LLM-as-judge BYOK:
openai—OPENAI_API_KEY(optionalbase_url/api_key_envfor proxies)xai— Grok via xAI (XAI_API_KEY, default modelgrok-4.3)mock— offline deterministic (no network)
- run.fail_on —
average(default) orany - output — JSON + Markdown reports for CI comments
Reports include judge_usage: prompt / completion / total tokens (API-reported for openai/xai; estimated for mock).
Keep a known-good JSON report and fail CI if any existing metric mean drops by more than the allowed absolute amount:
# Promote a passing report. The baseline excludes questions, answers and contexts.
auditai baseline \
--from auditai-out/auditai-report.json \
--out tests/auditai-baseline.json
auditai compare \
--baseline tests/auditai-baseline.json \
--current auditai-out/auditai-report.json \
--max-drop 0.05The command returns 0 when all baseline metrics stay within tolerance, 1 for a
quality regression (including a baseline metric missing from the current report), and
2 for invalid input. New metrics that exist only in the current report do not fail
the comparison. auditai baseline refuses failed reports and will not overwrite an
existing baseline unless --force is supplied.

Composite Action at repo root (action.yml) — installs CLI, runs audit, uploads artifacts, comments the Markdown report on the PR, then fails the job if thresholds are not met.

Customer CI / laptop
Code + dataset + OPENAI_API_KEY or XAI_API_KEY
→ AuditAI CLI → User RAG API + Judge API
→ report.json / report.md / exit code
→ (optional) POST metrics → AuditAI Cloud API
No model files leave the customer environment. Cloud receives metrics + metadata only by default (answers redacted).
Lightweight FastAPI + Next.js for run history (premium hinge).
