    Explain to the user how it works:
-   > **How this works:** When you SSH into a remote machine, the connection stays open in the background for 10 minutes (`ControlPersist 600`). During that time, any other SSH command to the same host — including ones I run — reuses your authenticated tunnel. No password prompt, no key tap. Just open an SSH session to your target machine before asking me to work on it.

During that time, any other SSH command to the same host — including ones I run — reuses your authenticated tunnel. No password prompt, no key tap. The tunnel stays open until the original session closes or the connection drops — your key/auth provider handles its own timeout.

    If the user's `~/.ssh/config` already has Host-specific blocks, add the ControlMaster settings under a `Host *` block at the **end** of the file so it acts as a default without overriding specific host configs.
