Simon Willison releases llm-keys-ui 0.1 because he refuses to paste API keys into agent sessions
Willison shipped the plugin on September 20 after starting to drive coding agents on remote machines via Codex Remote from his phone. It launches a local web server via `uvx --with llm-keys-ui llm keys-ui --all`, lets you add keys through a browser form, never displays existing key values, and lets the agent retrieve them later with `llm keys get anthropic` inside a shell command. The stated reason is the useful part: "I don't like pasting API keys into agent sessions," which is a concrete credential-hygiene pattern for anyone running agents on machines they control but do not sit in front of.
