+title: "Direct Prompt Injection via User Input"
+id: ATR-2026-001
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects direct prompt injection attempts where a user embeds malicious instructions
+  within their input to override the agent's intended behavior. This rule uses layered
+  detection covering: instruction override verbs with target nouns, persona switching,
+  temporal behavioral overrides, fake system delimiters, restriction removal, encoding-
+  wrapped payloads (base64, hex, unicode homoglyphs), and zero-width character obfuscation
+  of injection keywords. Patterns are designed for evasion resistance with word boundary
+  anchors, flexible whitespace, and synonym coverage based on published attack taxonomies.
