About this skill

Qwen Runner

Execute prompts as the Qwen seat through the shared pi-runner implementation. This replaces the previous Cline-backed shim — --provider openrouter --model qwen/qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b is pinned on every invocation, so the seat no longer depends on whichever provider Cline's mutable state happens to point at; the model that answers is always the forwarded Qwen model, served via OpenRouter.

Default Model

  • qwen/qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b — Qwen3.8 27B (256K-token context in the OpenRouter catalog; the dense open-weight VLM of the Qwen3.8 Max family — the 1M flagship is a separate qwen/qwen3.8-max id), pinned as --provider openrouter --model qwen/qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b on every run. Override with --model to point the Qwen seat at a different OpenRouter model id.

Prerequisites

  • pi CLI installed and in PATH (npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent)
  • OPENROUTER_API_KEY in the environment (or an OpenRouter credential in Pi's auth store)

Security Model

This skill delegates to pi-runner, so it has the same execution and data sharing model as the Pi wrapper — see ../pi-runner/SKILL.md. Runs are hermetic (no extensions, skills, or AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md discovery). Analysis roles (every role except implementer) default to read-only mode (only Pi's file-reading tool enabled). Pass --allow-write to opt out, or --no-tools to block tools entirely.

Shared Wrapper Reference

Supported options, roles, the --json output envelope key contract, return codes, and gotchas are identical to the shared wrapper — read shared/references/runner-common.md for the shared flags, envelope keys, return codes, and the seat-fidelity rule. The envelope is produced by pi-runner/scripts/run_pi.py with runner=qwen, effective_runner=pi, effective_provider=qwen (inferred from the qwen/... model id); native_provider=openrouter is the serving gateway.

Usage

python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py "your prompt here"

Paths use the installed .agents/skills/ layout. From this source repository, invoke qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py.

Examples

python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py "Explain the core module architecture"
python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py --prompt-file /tmp/review.md --role codereviewer
python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py "Read-only analysis" --restrict-tools --json
python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py "Apply the accepted fix" --role implementer
python3 .agents/skills/qwen-runner/scripts/run_qwen.py "Answer from the brief only" --no-tools --json

Behavior

  1. Delegates to the shared pi-runner implementation with runner identity set to qwen (the envelope reports runner=qwen, effective_runner=pi).
  2. Pins --provider openrouter --model qwen/qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b on every call, so the Qwen seat is the model that actually answers — there is no mutable provider state that can silently reroute it.
  3. Never falls back to another provider. A missing CLI blocks the seat explicitly (status: seat_unavailable, return_code -2); missing credentials report status: auth_missing with auth_ok: false — this is seat fidelity, the same invariant every runner upholds: never substitute another model's answer for the Qwen seat.
  4. Preserves the shared wrapper envelope so councils can compare Qwen output with other runners consistently.

Migration Note

The Cline-backed shim is no longer used by this skill — it now depends solely on pi and OPENROUTER_API_KEY. Gemma and Minimax, which previously reused this wrapper's Cline-backed main(), now delegate to cline-runner directly and are unaffected. If other tooling still shells out to cline directly, that is also unaffected by this change.
