Qwen CLI Delegation

Overview

This skill implements conjure:delegation-core for the Qwen CLI. It provides Qwen-specific authentication, quota management, and command construction.

For shared delegation patterns, see Skill(conjure:delegation-core).

When To Use

• After Skill(conjure:delegation-core) determines Qwen is suitable
• When you need Qwen's large context window (100K+ tokens)
• For batch processing, summarization, or multi-file analysis
• If the qwen CLI is installed and configured

When NOT To Use

• Choosing which provider to delegate to (use conjure:delegation-core)
• Gemini was the selected provider (use conjure:gemini-delegation)

Prerequisites

Installation:

# Install Qwen CLI
pip install qwen-cli

# Verify installation
qwen --version

# Check authentication
qwen auth status

# Login if needed
qwen auth login

# Or set API key
export QWEN_API_KEY="your-key"

Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.

Quick Start

Using Shared Delegation Executor

# Basic file analysis
python ~/conjure/tools/delegation_executor.py qwen "Analyze this code" --files src/main.py

# With specific model
python ~/conjure/tools/delegation_executor.py qwen "Summarize" --files src/**/*.py --model qwen-max

# With output format
python ~/conjure/tools/delegation_executor.py qwen "Extract functions" --files src/main.py --format json

Direct CLI Usage

# Basic command
qwen -p "@path/to/file Analyze this code"

# Multiple files
qwen -p "@src/**/*.py Summarize these files"

# Specific model
qwen --model qwen-max -p "..."

Save Output

qwen -p "..." > delegations/qwen/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).md

Smart Delegation

The shared delegation executor can auto-select the best service:

# Auto-select based on requirements
python ~/conjure/tools/delegation_executor.py auto "Analyze large codebase" \
  --files src/**/* --requirement large_context

Qwen-Specific Details

For Qwen-specific models, CLI options, cost reference, and troubleshooting, see modules/qwen-specifics.md.

Exit Criteria

• qwen --version and qwen auth status (or QWEN_API_KEY env var set) both exit 0 before any task is delegated; missing installation or failed authentication is reported and stops execution.
• The delegated task output is saved to delegations/qwen/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md (timestamp format matching the Quick Start example), and that file exists on disk after delegation.
• If conjure:delegation-core selected a different provider (Gemini or local), this skill is not invoked; Qwen delegation only runs when delegation-core explicitly routes to Qwen.
• Smart delegation via delegation_executor.py auto logs which provider was selected and why before executing the task, so the selection is auditable.
