Qwen CLI

Qwen CLI

Use your installed Qwen Code CLI as an ACP agent in BB. No extra sign-in, no separate configuration — your existing Qwen models, tools, and credentials work as-is.

How it works

The plugin launches qwen --acp through BB's shared ACP bridge. The ACP dialect maps Qwen's tools to BB's rich timeline presentation with icons, labels, and progress indicators.

Features

• Plan mode — research and plan before implementing via composer or --prompt-mode plan
• Auto-approve — automatically approve permission requests in Accept edits mode for unattended use
• Sandbox — run commands in Qwen's sandbox for additional isolation
• BB-native delegation — disable Qwen's native subagents and delegate work through bb thread spawn instead
• Command descriptions — show human-readable tool summaries instead of raw commands
• Reasoning levels — low, medium, and high reasoning effort per model

Requirements

• Qwen Code CLI installed: npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest
• Signed in via qwen interactive (/auth) or OPENAI_API_KEY + OPENAI_BASE_URL for CI/headless
• Node.js ≥ 22, BB ≥ 0.48

Install

bb plugin install github:ols-md/bb-plugin-qwen-cli

Permissions

• Accept edits — edits files automatically; shell commands, web fetches, and paths outside the workspace prompt for approval
• Full access — all operations allowed without prompting
