Write for Promptfoo

If you enjoy Promptfoo, want to help others learn it, and would like to build your reputation as a writer, this is for you.

What we publish

We publish practical guides with working code for engineers developing, securing, and evaluating AI systems—from LLMs and agent frameworks to multi-agent deployments.

Types of content we value:

• Engineering deep dives - Novel benchmarks, evaluation methodologies, red teaming frameworks, safety testing protocols
• Production system guides - Real-world Promptfoo deployments at scale, monitoring, observability, and performance optimization
• Research papers - Academic work using Promptfoo for evaluation, with reproducible experiments and datasets
• Tutorials and guides - Step-by-step instructions with exact commands and reproducible examples
• Video content - YouTube tutorials, conference talks, and technical walkthroughs
• Integrations - How to use Promptfoo with AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Crew AI, OpenAI Agents SDK), cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex), CI/CD pipelines, and security tools
• Case studies - Real-world deployments, metrics, and lessons learned from production systems
• Best practices - Test design, guardrails, data quality, and reproducibility
• Troubleshooting - Clear solutions to common problems

Avoid broad AI explainers. Go deep, show code, and report results.

Topics we want now

• Production-scale Promptfoo deployments with monitoring and observability
• Building red teaming workflows with Promptfoo in CI
• Novel benchmark designs for multi-agent system evaluation
• Evaluating model upgrades safely across providers (GPT-5, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5)
• Reproducible jailbreak testing with shared datasets and academic rigor
• Guardrail comparisons using Promptfoo evals
• Promptfoo + OpenAI Agents SDK/CrewAI integration with live repo and CI
• AI security testing workflows and best practices
• Performance optimization for large-scale evaluation systems
• Migrating from ad-hoc tests to evaluation plans

Compensation

We pay for quality technical content. Deep engineering posts with working code get more than basic tutorials.

Writing guidelines

• Keep it clear and specific
• Include runnable code with exact commands
• Use version pins for models, SDKs, and Promptfoo
• Add screenshots when helpful (include alt text)
• Test all steps and provide a repo or example files
• Follow our existing documentation style

Write in your own voice. AI-assist is fine, but we reject copy-paste ChatGPT output.

Maintenance: For 30 days after publication, we may request minor updates. Substantial revisions will be scoped separately.
