Qwen Dispatch Skill — Bidirectional Claude↔Qwen Integration
Route tasks to the optimal engine. Claude Code handles strategic work (L0-L2).
Qwen Code handles worker tasks (L5-L6) with optional Claude-style thinking.
Task Types (11)
| Type | Mode | Description |
|---|
review | Worker | Code review and analysis |
test-gen | Worker | Generate tests |
docs | Worker | Generate documentation |
explore | Worker | Codebase exploration |
fix | Worker | Simple bug fixes |
scaffold | Worker | Generate boilerplate |
refactor | Worker | Clean up code |
think | Thinking | Claude-style reasoning only (no execution) |
plan | Thinking | Think + plan (no execution) |
auto | Pipeline | Think + plan + execute (full pipeline) |
raw | Direct | Pass prompt directly |
How to Dispatch
Worker Tasks (saves Claude tokens)
qwen-dispatch review "Review src/auth.py for security issues" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch test-gen "Generate pytest tests for src/utils.py" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch docs "Generate docstrings for src/core/pipeline.py" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch explore "Find all API endpoints in this project" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch fix "Fix the off-by-one error in pagination logic" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch scaffold "Create a new FastAPI router for /api/v2/users" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch refactor "Simplify the nested conditionals in src/auth.py" --cwd /path/to/project
Thinking Tasks (NEW — Claude-style reasoning in Qwen)
qwen-dispatch think "Analyze the auth flow design" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch plan "Implement user pagination" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch auto "Build REST API with JWT auth" --cwd /path/to/project
--think Flag (NEW — add thinking to ANY task type)
qwen-dispatch review "Review src/auth.py" --think --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-dispatch fix "Fix the TypeError in src/utils.py:42" --think --cwd /path/to/project
Escalation — Qwen → Claude (NEW)
qwen-escalate "Design the new microservice architecture" --cwd /path/to/project
qwen-escalate "Deploy to production" --context ~/.qwen/thinking/think_abc123.json
Model Selection
| Model | Type | Best For |
|---|
| coder-model (--qwen-oauth) | Cloud | Best quality coding (1K free/day) |
| qwen3.5:cloud | Cloud (default) | Most capable reasoning |
| qwen3:8b | Local (5.2GB) | Fast, free, worker tasks |
| kimi-k2.5:cloud | Cloud | Strong coding |
| minimax-m2.5:cloud | Cloud | Creative tasks |
Backend Selection
| Flag | Backend | Limit |
|---|
--qwen-oauth | Qwen3-Coder cloud | 1K free req/day |
--ollama | Ollama local/cloud | Unlimited |
| (default) | Uses ~/.qwen/settings.json | Depends on auth |
Routing Decision Matrix
| Signal | Route to Qwen | Route to Claude |
|---|
| Authority | L5-L6 worker | L0-L2 strategic |
| Risk | T0-T1 safe/local | T2-T3 shared/critical |
| MCP needs | filesystem, github, memory, context7, brave-search, tavily, sequential | aster, playwright, stripe, k8s, terraform, slack, postgres, docker |
| Scope | Single file, clear goal | Multi-file, coordination needed |
| Nature | Review, test, docs, explore, scaffold | Architecture, security, design |
Artifact Locations
| Artifact | Path |
|---|
| Thinking | ~/.qwen/thinking/*.json |
| Plans | ~/.qwen/plans/*.json |
| Execution logs | ~/.qwen/logs/*.json |
| Metrics | ~/.qwen/metrics/*.jsonl |
Token Budget
- Each Qwen dispatch = 0 Claude tokens
- Qwen OAuth: 1,000 requests/day free
- Ollama: unlimited
- Auto-dispatch in /plan routes L5-L6 tasks automatically
Auto-Dispatch in /plan
The plan command auto-routes L5-L6 worker tasks to Qwen Code.
Claude Code focuses on L0-L2 strategic decisions and orchestration.
The --think flag is automatically added for tasks that benefit from structured reasoning.
