Style neutralization before the safety model sees the prompt

Pass user input through a secondary model that rewrites it in a neutral register, removing fear, urgency, flattery and similar cues, and give the neutralized text to the main model, so stylistic reframing no longer carries the request past

Does it work?

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.

No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.

No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.

Either way, bring evidence: a link, or what you saw.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
