The sentence that makes an attached file work
Most assistants treat a file you hand them as background reading, not as instructions. Paste this line along with the file:
Follow the writing rules in the attached file for everything you write in this conversation. If anything I ask for conflicts with them, say so.
Custom instruction boxes are different. Text you type there already carries authority, so it does not need the line.
