Skill: Safely edit a model config

Use this when the user wants to change a setting on an installed model (context size, parameters, prompt template, etc.).

  1. Call get_model_config with the model name. Display the relevant section of the YAML/JSON.
  2. Identify the field(s) the user wants to change. If their intent is ambiguous, ask before proceeding.
  3. Show a diff: beforeafter for each touched field.
  4. Summarise and ask for confirmation: "I'll patch <name> with {...} — confirm?".
  5. On confirmation, call edit_model_config with the smallest possible deep-merge patch (only the changed keys).
  6. Call reload_models so the change takes effect.
  7. Verify by calling get_model_config again and reporting the new values.

Never call edit_model_config without showing the diff first.
