# 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:**

```bash

# Install Qwen CLI

- pip install qwen-cli

+ npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code

# 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

```bash

# Basic file analysis

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

+ uv run python scripts/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

+ uv run python scripts/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

+ uv run python scripts/delegation_executor.py qwen "Extract functions" \

+ --files src/main.py --format json

```

### Direct CLI Usage

```bash

# 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

```bash

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

```

## Smart Delegation

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

```bash

- # Auto-select based on requirements

- python ~/conjure/tools/delegation_executor.py auto "Analyze large codebase" \

- --files src/**/* --requirement large_context

+ # Auto-select a service for the task

+ uv run python scripts/delegation_executor.py auto "Analyze large codebase" \

+ --files src/**/*

```

## 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.
