Replit Agent Adds Custom Instructions and Skills

EDITOR BRIEF
Replit is adding Agent Customization so teams can give the AI agent their own project rules and working style. The feature has two parts: Custom Instructions and Skills. Custom Instructions are always applied across projects and sessions, so the agent can follow things like secret handling, TypeScript strict mode, and data policies without being reminded each time.
INSIGHTS
For beginners, this shows how AI tools can be tuned to match real team habits instead of starting from scratch every prompt. A good next step is to write a short list of rules for one project, such as code style and secret handling, and turn them into reusable instructions.
