1. Open or create an Agent

Choose an existing Agent from the sidebar to continue its conversation, or choose New Agent to start a persistent place for a new topic or responsibility.

2. Give it the right context

You can select a working folder, attach files, choose Skills, reference earlier Turnstone conversations, or add a connected app with the @ picker. When Brain is available, the Agent can use relevant durable knowledge without making you repeat it.

3. Choose the permission posture

Use Read only, Ask first, or Always Allow to control whether the Agent may make changes.

4. Ask naturally

Describe the outcome you want. Turnstone can use its available tools, propose an Automation or Skill, or show an app-owned review card when a change needs your confirmation. Use Families to group related Agents and Side Chats for quick detours that should not interrupt an Agent’s main conversation.
