+# Example Prompt Injection Library
+
+This directory demonstrates the local library shape expected by Apex.
+
+- `catalog.json` contains safe, model-visible metadata only.
+- `payloads/` contains the raw prompt-injection payload text.
+- Catalog entries reference payload files with relative `payloadPath` values.
+
+Run Apex with this library by passing:
+
+```sh
+/prompt-injection --library ./exmaples/prompt-injection
+```
+
+or by setting:
+
+```sh
+PENSAR_PROMPT_INJECTION_LIBRARY=./exmaples/prompt-injection
+```
