 ## Tools
 
-- **document_create** - Opens a new document editor with an optional title and initial Markdown content. Returns a `surface_id` for subsequent updates. This is the entry point for any new piece of writing.
+- **document_open** - Opens an existing document in the editor panel by `surface_id`. Use this when a document exists but isn't visible in the editor — for example after the user switches devices, refreshes the page, or when the editor panel was closed. Fetches the document from storage and sends it to the client.
+- **document_create** - Opens a new document editor with an optional title and initial Markdown content. Returns a `surface_id` for subsequent updates.
 - **document_update** - Updates content in an open document editor by `surface_id`. Supports `replace` (overwrite) and `append` (add to end) modes.
 - **document_read** - Reads the current content of a document by `surface_id` when it belongs to the current conversation, or when the current actor is the guardian/local user. Use to verify content before editing.
+- **document_list** - Lists documents. Without `query`, lists the current conversation's documents. With `query`, searches by title; guardian/local users can search across conversations, while other actors are scoped to the current conversation.
 - **document_find** - Searches a document for text or regex patterns. Returns matching lines with line numbers, match positions, and matched text.
 - **document_replace_text** - Targeted find-and-replace within a document. Supports literal and regex patterns (with backreferences). Optionally limit the number of replacements.
-- **document_list** - Lists documents. Without `query`, lists the current conversation's documents. With `query`, searches by title; guardian/local users can search across conversations, while other actors are scoped to the current conversation.
-- **document_open** - Opens an existing document in the editor panel by `surface_id`. Use this when a document exists but isn't visible in the editor — for example after the user switches devices, refreshes the page, or when the editor panel was closed. Fetches the document from storage and sends it to the client.
 - **document_delete** - Deletes a document by `surface_id`. Use to clean up unwanted documents.

+3. Once you have the `surface_id`, call `document_open` to open the editor panel. This surfaces the editor on the client and returns document metadata (`surface_id`, `title`, `word_count`) — not the full content. If you need the actual document text, follow up with `document_read`.

+
+## Creating a new document
 
 1. **Create the document**: Call `document_create` with a title (inferred from the request). Call the tool immediately, not after conversational preamble. Capture the `surface_id` from the response — every subsequent `document_update` call must reference it.
 2. **Write content in Markdown**: Use proper structure (`#` for titles, `##` for sections), **bold**, _italic_, code blocks, tables, lists, blockquotes as appropriate.

    - `document_find` + `document_replace_text` — **for everything else**. Fixing typos, renaming terms, swapping sections, reordering content, adjusting formatting, or any edit that touches only part of the document. This is the default choice for edits. It avoids rewriting the entire document and eliminates the risk of accidentally dropping content.
 4. **Do NOT use `document_update` with `mode: "replace"` for targeted edits.** Rewriting the entire document to change a few words or rearrange sections is wasteful and error-prone.

 ## Anti-Patterns
 
 - **Don't use `app_create` for blog posts, articles, or written content.** Use `document_create` — apps are for interactive content with state/data.
-- **Don't write the article into the chat response.** Long-form prose goes in the document editor via `document_create`, not in chat and not into a `.md` file in the workspace. Acknowledge what you're doing and stream to the editor.
+- **Don't output the full content in chat.** The content goes in the document editor, not in the chat response. Acknowledge what you're doing and stream to the editor.
 - **Don't wait to generate everything before sending.** Stream content in chunks via `document_update` with `mode: "append"` so users see progress in real time.
