+title: 'Pseudo-Code Structured Programming Jailbreak Attack'
+id: ATR-2026-00236
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects jailbreak attempts that use pseudo-code, programming language syntax, or structured
+  initialization sequences to appear technically legitimate while redefining agent behavior.
+  Attackers craft prompts using programming constructs (BEGIN/END blocks, variable assignments,
+  module initialization, function definitions) to bypass safety mechanisms by making the
+  jailbreak appear like system configuration rather than social engineering. This technique
+  exploits the agent's tendency to interpret structured code-like input as authoritative
+  technical instructions. Covers MACRONOMICON-style attacks and similar pseudo-code frameworks.

+title: 'Previous Instruction Nullification and Identity Replacement Jailbreak'
+id: ATR-2026-00240
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects jailbreak attempts that explicitly instruct the AI to ignore previous instructions
+  and replace its identity with a harmful persona. This technique combines instruction nullification
+  ("ignore all instructions previously given") with identity replacement ("you will no longer act as
+  [model], but act as [harmful persona]") to bypass safety mechanisms. The attack creates a new
+  behavioral framework that claims to override the original system prompt and safety guidelines.
+  Common personas include Skynet, DAN variants, or custom "unrestricted" AI characters with detailed
+  instructions to ignore ethical constraints and output harmful content.
