fix(ci): keep the review workflow under the expression-length limit (#8720)
The review workflow has been invalid since #8648 merged, so every event
it declares has been dead for ~12 hours:

  Invalid workflow file: .github/workflows/qwen-code-pr-review.yml#L1
  (Line: 751, Col: 14): Exceeded max expression length 21000

A `run:` body containing `${{ }}` is evaluated as ONE expression
template, and GitHub caps a single expression at 21000 characters.
"Run review" went 17705 -> 22282 chars in #8648 (17:00:32 on 2026-08-07);
the first startup failure is stamped 17:00:50. #8683 took it to 24042.

An over-limit expression does not fail a job — it invalidates the whole
file, so no run is created at all. Across the 400 runs since that merge
there is not one success, not one `pull_request_target` and not one
`issue_comment`: both automatic review and `@qwen-code /review` were
unreachable, while CI stayed green throughout because nothing covered it.

Pass the three context values the script reads through the step's env,
leaving the body free of `${{ }}`. The runner then never templates it and
its length stops mattering. No behaviour changes: each substitution is a
rename of the same value.

Pin it with a test that walks every workflow and fails any templated run
block over the limit, plus one that keeps this body untemplated — it is
past 21000 on its own, so a single `${{ }}` added back takes the whole
workflow down again. Both fail against the file currently on main,
naming it: `qwen-code-pr-review.yml > review-pr > Run review: 24042 chars`.

Mutation-tested, 4 of 4 caught: restoring a `${{ }}` in the body (3
tests), dropping either env binding, and hardcoding the value the env
used to carry.

QwenLM%2Fqwen-code | Trendshift

The open-source AI coding agent that lives in your terminal.

中文 | Deutsch | français | 日本語 | Русский | Português (Brasil)

Why Qwen Code?

  • Agentic out of the box — Auto-Memory, Auto-Skills, SubAgents, Agent Teams, and MCP. Dynamic workflows, zero setup.
  • Open-source, inside and out — The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.
  • Multi-protocol — Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.
  • Beyond the terminal — IDE plugins, Desktop app, daemon mode, SDKs, and IM bots (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).

Tip

Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself — using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.

Installation

Linux / macOS:

curl -fsSL https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.sh | bash

Windows:

irm https://qwen-code-assets.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/installation/install-qwen-standalone.ps1 | iex

Restart your terminal after installation to ensure environment variables take effect.

NPM / Homebrew

NPM (requires Node.js 22+):

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

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

brew install qwen-code

Quick Start

qwen          # Launch interactive terminal UI
# Inside the session:
/auth         # Configure your provider and API key

See the Authentication Guide and Settings Reference for detailed setup.

Ecosystem

  • Qwen Code Desktop — Official desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux

  • AionUi — A modern GUI for command-line AI tools including Qwen Code

  • Gemini CLI Desktop — A cross-platform desktop/web/mobile UI for Qwen Code

  • 🦞 Qwen Code Claw — Let other agents (Claude, Codex, etc.) delegate coding tasks to Qwen Code via ACP. Paste this prompt into your agent:

Use Qwen Code as a coding agent. First, fetch and read this skill reference:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/refs/heads/main/.qwen/skills/qwen-code-claw/SKILL.md
Then follow the instructions inside to install, authenticate, and use Qwen Code via acpx for all coding tasks.
  • Aliyun Model Studio CLI — Official CLI for Aliyun's AI platform (bailian-cli). Extends Qwen Code with image/video generation, knowledge retrieval, app orchestration, and model deployment

Acknowledgments

This project was originally based on Google Gemini CLI v0.8.2. We gratefully acknowledge the Gemini CLI team's excellent work. Starting from Qwen Code v0.1, we stopped syncing with upstream and began independent development as a multi-protocol, multi-platform agent framework with deep integrations for Qwen models and beyond.
