## What it is
A Python tool that cleans AI refusal responses from Codex CLI, Claude Code, and OpenCode session files so conversations can be resumed, with optional LLM-based rewriting of replacements. It also injects CTF/pentest-oriented system prompts into tool configurations to reduce refusals during security testing.

## Use cases
- remove AI refusal replies from Codex CLI session files
- resume a Codex session that got stuck on a refusal
- inject a CTF context prompt into Claude Code or OpenCode
- batch-clean refusal messages across a session history
- erase encrypted reasoning blocks from session logs
- preview diffs before patching AI session files

## When to choose
- you do security testing or CTF work with AI coding assistants and hit frequent refusals
- you need to edit or restore Codex/Claude Code/OpenCode session files with backups
- you want a Web UI with diff views and multi-platform session management

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose session viewer rather than refusal cleanup
- you require a formally licensed or audited tool (no license file is published)
- your workflow has no legitimate security-testing context for refusal bypassing
