+### Reopen on your OK
+
+A note to a session that has closed would otherwise wait until someone happens to open that
+session again. When the person wants it handled sooner, the sending agent calls `brain_reopen`, and
+**KLYPIX asks the person** — an in-chat *Reopen / Not now* prompt in apps that support MCP
+elicitation (Claude Code, Codex), otherwise a small native dialog. Only on *Reopen* does KLYPIX
+open that Claude Code or Codex session in a **new, visible terminal**, in the folder it worked in,
+with the host's own resume command (`claude --resume <id>`, `codex resume <id>`); the session
+receives the waiting note at its first action and the sender sees the receipt as usual.
+
+- The person decides, never a model: the answer comes from the app's prompt or KLYPIX's own
+  dialog, which no agent can click. With neither available, nothing opens and the person is given
+  the command to run.
+- Only a session with a note **addressed to it** is reopened — KLYPIX reopens a conversation so a
+  note can reach it; it does not start, route or supervise agents.
+- The first prompt the reopened session gets is fixed text that tells it to collect the note; the
+  note itself arrives through the labelled message channel as information from another session,
+  never typed in as if the person had said it. The sender's session identity never leaks into it.
+- *Not now* is remembered: the same session is not offered again for a while, and a double click
+  cannot open two windows.
+- From a terminal: `npx klypix-mcp sessions` lists this project's closed sessions and the notes
+  waiting for them; `npx klypix-mcp sessions reopen <id>` reopens one (`--quiet` lets it wait for
+  you instead of starting on the note).

   description: 'APPROVAL-FREE task gateway over the authorized MCP connection. Call FIRST with a concise intent and expected files, again when scope changes, and with phase:"complete" before the final response. One bounded response returns compact task-relevant brain context, active TASK peers (idle connections hidden), one-time messages, structured exact-file conflicts, and late-arrival overlap alerts. A completion that supplies machine-checkable result manifests is fail-closed: invalid, conflicting, or incomparable evidence returns needs-reconciliation and retains task scope. Works on any MCP host — it needs only the authorized MCP connection, so native lifecycle hooks are optional. LIMITS: conflict matching is EXACT-PATH and both sessions must have declared their files, coordination/result reconciliation is machine-local and OS-user-local (a teammate on another machine is invisible), and file overlap remains ADVISORY.',
