Read `kg guide customize` first. It has every command, key, file, and limit.
1. Find which kind of change the person wants: a theme, a key, a preference, an agent rule, or a skill. Change only that.
2. For a theme, copy the theme in use with `kg theme new <id>`, edit the copy, then select it with `kg theme set`. Leave the built-in themes alone.
3. For a key or a preference, read the current value first, then set it.
4. For an agent rule, use `kg instructions set` (or `--project <id>` for one project), and check the chapter for its size and which agents read it.
5. For a skill, create or add it with the `kg skill` commands, then check it with `kg skill list`.
6. Read the value back, and tell the person what changed and where.
