+title: 'AI Identity Denial and Persona Replacement Attack'
+id: ATR-2026-00238
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects sophisticated jailbreak attempts that systematically deny the AI's nature and replace its identity with a new persona.
+  This attack technique goes beyond simple roleplay by explicitly instructing the model to forget its AI nature, adopt human 
+  identity, and actively conceal its true nature from users. The pattern combines identity denial ("you are not an AI"), 
+  replacement directives ("you are [new persona] now"), memory manipulation ("forget who [original name] is"), and concealment 
+  instructions ("never let people know you're an AI"). This technique aims to completely override the model's self-awareness 
+  and safety constraints by fundamentally altering its identity perception.

+title: 'Dual-Response Persona Jailbreak with Emoji Formatting'
+id: ATR-2026-00242
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects sophisticated jailbreak attempts that create fictional AI personas with mandatory dual-response
+  formatting using emoji tags. These attacks establish fake AI backstories with detailed historical context,
+  then demand two parallel outputs (normal + uncensored). The technique bypasses single-response detection
+  by splitting harmful content into a "roleplay" channel marked with distinctive emoji prefixes like 
+  (💥Maximum), (🔥DAN), (⚡UNLIMITED), etc. Often includes persistence mechanisms like "Stay as [PERSONA]"
+  reminders and detailed policy overrides disguised as persona characteristics.
