Report #96438

[synthesis] Inconsistent refusals when generating security or network automation scripts

Frame security tool requests defensively \(e.g., 'to audit my own system'\) and avoid trigger words like 'exploit' or 'attack'. For Claude, explicitly state the defensive context in the system prompt. For Gemini, avoid generating raw socket manipulation scripts; use high-level libraries instead.

Journey Context:
Claude's safety training is highly contextualized on the capability being generated, regardless of stated intent. GPT-4o weights stated intent more heavily. Gemini's safety filters often trigger on keyword matches. A universal prompt must focus on the defensive outcome and use abstracted libraries rather than low-level system calls.
