Qwen Code

Vendor: Alibaba Cloud Install name: qwen-code Status: Beta Native config: ~/.qwen/

Installation

apothem install --harness qwen-code

The adapter writes Qwen Code settings, installs a QWEN.md context anchor, registers Apothem hook dispatchers, converts Apothem commands to Qwen Markdown command files, installs skills as SKILL.md directories, and adapts helper definitions as Qwen subagents.

Files written:

~/.qwen/settings.json
~/.qwen/QWEN.md
~/.qwen/commands/
~/.qwen/skills/
~/.qwen/agents/
~/.qwen/.apothem/support/{rules,templates,hooks}/

Profile-to-native-config mapping

The adapter renders documented settings.json keys for context and hooks, writes QWEN.md, and weaves Apothem commands, skills, and helper definitions through Qwen Code's native discovery directories. Rules, templates, and hook source material remain support material under ~/.qwen/.apothem/support/.

Compatibility notes

~/.qwen/.apothem/support/ is support material referenced by QWEN.md and the settings hook commands; it is not a vendor-owned discovery namespace.

Verification

apothem verify --harness qwen-code

The verify command confirms that:

1. The native config exists at the expected path.
2. All mandatory fields from the shared profile are present.
3. The adapter-specific verification routine reports success.

Updating

apothem update --harness qwen-code

Refreshes settings.json, QWEN.md, native commands, skills, subagents, and the Apothem support tree.

Uninstalling

apothem uninstall --harness qwen-code

Removes the native config files written by the adapter. The shared profile YAML and Apothem engine are unaffected.

Conformity gate

python -m apothem.conformity.gate --all .
