/slug. It’s a playbook, not an AI employee.
Say you’re always asking for the same inbox triage: archive newsletters, treat investors as VIPs, and keep drafts under three sentences. A Workflow captures that procedure once.
Type /inbox-triage and Runner loads those instructions in that session.
Writes follow your tool permissions. Ask stages an Action Card for review. Allow acts without asking. Off blocks the tool unless a user-created Runner has its own override.

Create a Workflow
Two ways, same as Runners: fill out the form, or have Runner build it with you.1
Open the Workflow Library
Find Workflows in your sidebar. Click New workflow, or choose Create a workflow to have Runner interview you and write it.
2
Write the instructions
Name it (the name becomes the slug: “Listing Email” becomes
/listing-email) and write the step-by-step guidance Runner should follow. Be as opinionated as you are in real life. That’s the point.3
Invoke it anywhere
Type
/listing-email in any session, on any device. Add context right in the message: “/listing-email for the house on Maple, emphasize the backyard.”Workflows and Runners work together
A Runner owns the job. A Workflow says how, the schedule says when, and the Project supplies background. A Runner assigned the Friday review can invoke/weekly-review at 4pm, using those instructions and the background from its Project.
