+# Prompt Injection Patterns — aidevops (t1375.1)
+# ================================================================
+# Comprehensive pattern database for prompt injection detection.
+# Merges aidevops inline patterns (t1327.8) with net-new patterns
+# from Lasso Security's claude-hooks (MIT, github.com/lasso-security/claude-hooks).
+#
+# FORMAT:
+#   Each category contains a list of patterns with:
+#     severity: CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
+#     description: Human-readable description
+#     pattern: PCRE-compatible regex (rg/grep -P)
+#
+# SEVERITY MAPPING (Lasso → aidevops):
+#   Lasso "high"   → CRITICAL or HIGH (based on directness of attack)
+#   Lasso "medium" → MEDIUM
+#   Lasso "low"    → LOW
+#
+# CATEGORIES:
+#   instruction_override    — Direct instruction override/ignore/reset
+#   role_play               — Jailbreak, persona switching, restriction bypass
+#   delimiter_injection     — Fake system blocks, ChatML, XML tags
+#   encoding_tricks         — Base64, hex, Unicode, leetspeak, homoglyphs
+#   system_prompt_extraction — Attempts to reveal system prompt
+#   social_engineering      — Urgency, authority claims, emotional manipulation
+#   data_exfiltration       — Attempts to leak data via URLs/encoding
+#   context_manipulation    — Token smuggling, history manipulation, false claims
+#
+# ADDING PATTERNS:
+#   1. Choose the appropriate category
+#   2. Add severity, description, and PCRE pattern
+#   3. Run: prompt-guard-helper.sh test
+#
+# LICENSE:
+#   Lasso-originated patterns are MIT licensed (Lasso Security, 2026).
+#   aidevops patterns are part of the aidevops framework.
