Usage

praxis config show
praxis config edit

---

praxis config show

Prints .praxis/config.json with a formatted header showing the file path, followed by the full JSON contents.

praxis config show

Example output:

  Praxis Config
  ──────────────────────────────────────────
  /path/to/my-org/.praxis/config.json

{
  "sources": ["roles", "responsibilities", "reference", "context"],
  "rolesDir": "roles",
  "responsibilitiesDir": "responsibilities",
  "agentProfilesOutputDir": "./agent-profiles",
  "plugins": [],
  "validation": {
    "apiKeyEnvVar": "OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
    "model": "x-ai/grok-4.1-fast"
  }
}

Does not require an API key. Exits with code 1 if no .praxis/ directory is found.

---

praxis config edit

Opens .praxis/config.json in your preferred editor. Resolves the editor in this order:

1. $VISUAL
2. $EDITOR
3. vi (fallback)

praxis config edit

# Or with an explicit editor:
EDITOR=nano praxis config edit
VISUAL=code praxis config edit

The terminal is handed directly to the editor (stdio: inherit), so interactive editors like vim, nano, and code --wait all work correctly. Exits with code 1 if the editor cannot be launched.
