Work with Runner

Learn the everyday loop for asking Runner to work, following progress, and reviewing results.

What this covers: You will know where to start a request, how to guide the work, and where to review the result.

Runner composer Add menu with Upload image and Take screenshot

Use this section after you have opened a store project. Runner keeps the request, progress, preview, and related project tools together so you can move from an idea to a reviewable result.

Entry path: Workspace Home → select a store → open its current conversation or choose New Chat.

The everyday loop

  1. Open the store you want to change.
  2. Start a New Chat when the work needs a separate conversation.
  3. Describe one clear outcome in the message box.
  4. Add a reference image, choose a profile, or add a skill when it will help.
  5. Select Send and follow the task state.
  6. Answer any question Runner asks so it can continue with the right choice.
  7. Open Details, the preview, or another work-canvas tab to review the result.
  8. Send a focused follow-up if anything needs adjustment.

Before you start

  • You must be signed in and have access to a store project.
  • A newly created chat is blank until you send a message.
  • Some tools, profiles, skills, and navigation destinations are conditional. Runner shows only what is available for the current account and project.
  • Publishing, billing, and destructive actions require their own confirmation paths. A completed chat task does not by itself mean a store was published or an external action occurred.
