Update a value (dot-notation for key path):

python {skill_path}/update_config.py --set "llm.deepseek.apiKey" "sk-xxx"

Examples:

# Change LLM provider
python {skill_path}/update_config.py --set "llm.provider" "claude"

After updating, tell the user the change was saved and whether a restart is needed to take effect.

Notes

• Uses bundled update_config.py to read and update pythonclaw.json
• API keys, passwords, and tokens are masked when displaying config
• Only pythonclaw.json is modified — no other files
