Qwen Code¶
Qwen Code is QwenLM's first-party coding agent. SuperQode connects to its stable ACP server, so Qwen Code keeps its own agent behavior while SuperQode provides the terminal, session, harness-switching, and normalized event surface.
Install And Authenticate¶
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code
qwen auth
Verify that SuperQode can discover it:
superqode agents show qwen
superqode agents doctor qwen
Connect From The TUI¶
Use the direct product connection:
:connect qwen-code
Qwen Code also appears in the unified Harness Switcher:
:harness
:harness switch qwen-code
:harness switch qwen-code --fork
Use --fork when you want Qwen Code to start an independent branch instead of continuing the current harness transition history.
Choose The Qwen Route¶
Qwen is available through several distinct paths:
| Goal | Route |
|---|---|
| Use the complete first-party Qwen Code agent | :connect qwen-code |
| Use an Alibaba-hosted Qwen model inside the SuperQode native harness | :connect byok alibaba <model> |
| Use a local Qwen model inside the SuperQode native harness | :connect local ollama <qwen-model> |
| Start a repository-owned Qwen coding HarnessSpec | superqode harness init qwen-coder --template qwen-coding --output harness.yaml |
A coding-agent connection and a model connection are not interchangeable. Choose Qwen Code when you want its complete agent loop. Choose BYOK or local when you want SuperQode's native harness to own tools, approvals, context, and workflow around a Qwen model.
