 id: ATR-2026-00227
 rule_version: 1

-description: >
-  Detects jailbreak attempts that create fictional historical AI personas with detailed behavioral
-  instructions and compliance enforcement mechanisms. These attacks claim the existence of past
-  "uncensored" AI systems (Maximum, Alpha, Unrestricted GPT, etc.) that allegedly had no safety
-  restrictions, then instruct the agent to simulate that persona. Pattern includes historical
-  legitimacy claims ("went viral in 2022", "shut down due to cost"), detailed behavioral rules,
-  dual-response formatting, and compliance enforcement ("you must always generate X response").
-  This variant bypasses simple jailbreak detection by using elaborate backstories rather than
-  direct instruction override.
