I'd like to help with this issue, but I need some clarification to ensure I can identify and address a specific technical problem. Could you please provide more details on the following:

• Where are you setting these custom instructions? Are you using the Custom Instructions field in Roo Code settings, mode-specific instructions, .roo/rules files, or are you typing them directly in the chat?
• Which mode are you using? (e.g., Code, Architect, Ask, Debug, or a custom mode?)
• Which API provider and model? Different models have varying levels of instruction-following capability, so this is important context.
• Can you share a specific example? For instance, what exact custom instruction text did you set, and what did Roo do instead? A screenshot or copy of the chat exchange would be very helpful.
• Is this happening consistently or intermittently? Does it happen every time, or only sometimes?

The reason I ask is that "not following instructions" could stem from several different causes -- the instructions might not be reaching the system prompt correctly (a code bug we can fix), or it could be model-dependent behavior (where the fix would be different). Understanding the specifics will help narrow down where the problem lies.

Please tag @roomote in your response with the answers, and I'll be happy to investigate further.
