Qwen Code

Qwen Code

Qwen Code is Alibaba's Qwen3-Coder agent, with a 1,000,000-token context window. It runs as a process in its own Daintree terminal panel with full PTY emulation, like every other built-in agent.

Install & Authenticate

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

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

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

Requires Node.js 22 or newer. Run qwen once to start. Authentication reads from ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json or ~/.qwen/settings.json, or from DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, BAILIAN_CODING_PLAN_API_KEY, or OPENAI_API_KEY. Qwen's model list refreshes at runtime from the shared model catalog rather than a snapshot baked into Daintree.

Resuming Sessions

Qwen prints its resume command on exit and Daintree reads the session ID off that line, then relaunches with qwen --resume <session-id>. Quit with /quit so the line is emitted. There is no resume-latest fallback for Qwen — a missed capture means the next launch starts fresh. See Session Management for how resumable sessions are stored and pruned.

Launch flags, custom presets and display titles are covered in Agent Presets. What the working, waiting and exited badges on a running agent mean is covered in Agent States.
