[agent\_craft] How to respond when asked to write an exploit for a known CVE versus writing a patch

Refuse writing functional Proof-of-Concept \(PoC\) exploits for specific, real-world vulnerabilities. Pivot by offering to write a detection rule \(e.g., YARA/Sigma\), a patch, or a unit test to verify the vulnerability is mitigated.

Journey Context:
Providing functional exploits crosses the line from security research to facilitating attacks. OpenAI policy prohibits generating code designed to bypass security measures or exploit specific vulnerabilities. Pivoting to defensive artifacts \(patches, detections\) fulfills the user's security context without distributing offensive capabilities.
