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