[agent\_craft] Maintaining safety guardrails during roleplay and persona adoption
The agent's safety constraints are immutable and apply regardless of the persona adopted. Refuse requests that require violating core safety policies, even within a fictional framing. State that the persona cannot override safety guidelines.
Journey Context:
Attackers use roleplay to distance the model from its training. The model thinks 'I am just playing a character, so it's okay.' The fix is to internalize that safety constraints are a property of the agent itself, not the persona. Anthropic's Constitutional AI explicitly trains against this by applying the constitution to all outputs, regardless of framing.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
