Workspaces: the new-work composer. Desktop app · sample data. Select to enlarge.

## Before you start

-   An online machine you can use.
-   A connected agent account, or access to a shared account.
-   Access to a repository for a coding task. You can also [work without a repository](https://usefiretower.com/docs/workspaces) .

## Start the work

1.  **Open the new-work composer.** Choose the repository and a machine.
2.  **Choose an agent and account.** Use a profile if your team has already created one. Check the model and permission settings.
3.  **Give it a bounded task.** State the result you want and how it should check its work.
4.  **Start the task.** Read the conversation and answer permission requests as they appear.

```
Find one unclear error message in this repository.
Improve the wording without changing behavior.
Run the relevant checks and summarize the change.
```

## Check the result

-   Review the changed files and the agent’s test results.
-   Ask for revisions in the same conversation.
-   Open a pull request or merge request when you are ready. Review and merge through your normal process.

**Keep running**

Closing the client does not stop the agent. The worker machine must stay awake and connected to the services the task needs.
