Qwen Coder CLI Delegation

Delegate selected tasks from Claude Code to Qwen Coder CLI using non-interactive commands, explicit model selection, safe permission flags, and shareable outputs.

Overview

This skill standardizes delegation to Qwen Coder CLI (qwen) for cases where Qwen's specific strengths may benefit the task. It covers:

• Non-interactive execution with -p / --prompt
• Model selection with -m / --model
• Approval control (--approval-mode)
• Session continuation with -c / --continue or -r / --resume
• Output format options (text, json, stream-json)

Use this skill only when delegation to Qwen Coder is explicitly requested or clearly beneficial.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• The user asks to delegate work to Qwen Coder CLI
• The user wants a second opinion from Qwen Coder on a task
• The user asks for Qwen Coder CLI output integrated into the current workflow
• The user wants to continue a previous Qwen Coder session

Trigger phrases:

• "use qwen"
• "use qwen coder"
• "delegate to qwen"
• "ask qwen"
• "second opinion from qwen"
• "qwen opinion"
• "continue with qwen"
• "qwen session"

Prerequisites

Verify tool availability and authentication before delegation:

# CLI availability
qwen --version

# Authentication status
qwen auth status

If qwen is unavailable, inform the user and stop execution until Qwen Coder CLI is installed. If authentication is invalid, provide authentication setup instructions and stop execution.
