Dev Bypasses Claude Safety Filters by Banning Hundreds of Trigger Words via Hooks
chaumian · x · 2026-08-07
Frustrated by Claude's overly sensitive safety guardrails, a developer shared a hardcore workaround: using a style hook to force the model to eliminate a massive list of words and anti-patterns that frequently trigger false positives.
The developer maintains a continuously growing claudebannedwords.txt file containing over 100 words (like attack, bank, chain) and adds more daily via a /ban skill. They noted that without this bypass, the model is essentially unusable.
