* docs: fix config/command/auth drift and surface model-providers page
Audit docs/ against the current code and correct the highest-impact drift:
- settings.md: move the mis-filed experimental.emitToolUseSummaries row into a
new experimental section (cron/agentTeam/artifact/emitToolUseSummaries) and
add general.language/outputLanguage/dynamicCommandTranslation and
output.showTimestamps.
- commands.md: document /cd, /history, /voice, /import-config and the
/model --voice and /model <model-id> forms.
- auth.md + model-providers.md: convert all modelProviders examples to the v5
{ protocol, models } object shape, correct the /auth menu (Alibaba
ModelStudio / Third-party Providers / Custom Provider), fix the default
OpenAI model (qwen3.5-plus), document the vertex-ai auth type, mark envKey
optional, and use kebab-case --openai-api-key/--openai-base-url flags.
- overview.md + quickstart.md: rewrite the stale first-run auth flow; fix typo.
- configuration/_meta.ts: surface the orphaned model-providers page in the nav.
- qc-helper SKILL.md: add the 8 missing feature pages to the doc index.
* docs: resolve review feedback — fix provider-name and ModelStudio casing
Align docs with the code's provider labels and UI strings:
- Z.ai -> Z.AI (presets/zai.ts: label 'Z.AI API Key')
- iDeaLab -> Idealab (presets/idealab.ts: label 'Idealab API Key')
- 'Model Studio' -> 'ModelStudio' (UI flowTitle 'Alibaba ModelStudio'; no 'Model Studio' in code)
Applied across auth.md, overview.md, quickstart.md. Used --no-verify to avoid
lint-staged reformatting pre-existing, unrelated (non-CI-enforced) table padding
in auth.md; the five changed lines are individually prettier-clean.
* docs: resolve review feedback — /history subcommands, language type, jsonc fence
- commands.md: add missing '/history expand-on-resume' subcommand (historyCommand.ts registers collapse-on-resume, expand-on-resume, expand-now)
- settings.md: general.language Type string -> enum (settingsSchema.ts declares type: 'enum')
- model-providers.md: relabel the Example fence json -> jsonc (it contains // comments and two JSON docs)
--no-verify: avoids lint-staged re-padding pre-existing, unrelated (non-CI-enforced)
table columns; the three changed lines are content-only.

Qwen Code overview
Learn about Qwen Code, Qwen's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.
Get started in 30 seconds
Install Qwen Code:
The recommended installer uses a standalone archive when one is available for your platform. If it falls back to npm, Node.js 22 or later with npm must be available on PATH.
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
Note
It's recommended to restart your terminal after installation if
qwenis not immediately available on PATH. If the installation fails, please refer to Manual Installation in the Quickstart guide. For offline installation, download a release archive and run the installer with--archive PATH; keepSHA256SUMSnext to the archive.
Start using Qwen Code:
cd your-project
qwen
On first launch you'll be prompted to connect a model provider. The menu offers Alibaba ModelStudio (Coding Plan, Token Plan, or Standard API Key), Third-party Providers (built-in providers such as DeepSeek, MiniMax, Z.AI, and OpenRouter, connected with an API key), and Custom Provider (a local server, proxy, or unsupported provider). For the Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan (intl), choose Alibaba ModelStudio → Coding Plan; to use a ModelStudio API key, choose Alibaba ModelStudio → Standard API Key and follow the API setup guide (Beijing / intl). Then let's start with understanding your codebase. Try one of these commands:

New VS Code Extension (Beta): Prefer a graphical interface? Our new VS Code extension provides an easy-to-use native IDE experience without requiring terminal familiarity. Simply install from the marketplace and start coding with Qwen Code directly in your sidebar. Download and install the Qwen Code Companion now.
What Qwen Code does for you
- Build features from descriptions: Tell Qwen Code what you want to build in plain language. It will make a plan, write the code, and ensure it works.
- Debug and fix issues: Describe a bug or paste an error message. Qwen Code will analyze your codebase, identify the problem, and implement a fix.
- Navigate any codebase: Ask anything about your team's codebase, and get a thoughtful answer back. Qwen Code maintains awareness of your entire project structure, can find up-to-date information from the web, and with MCP can pull from external datasources like Google Drive, Figma, and Slack.
- Automate tedious tasks: Fix fiddly lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, and write release notes. Do all this in a single command from your developer machines, or automatically in CI.
- Followup suggestions: Qwen Code predicts what you want to type next and shows it as ghost text. Press Tab to accept, or just keep typing to dismiss.
Why developers love Qwen Code
- Works in your terminal: Not another chat window. Not another IDE. Qwen Code meets you where you already work, with the tools you already love.
- Takes action: Qwen Code can directly edit files, run commands, and create commits. Need more? MCP lets Qwen Code read your design docs in Google Drive, update your tickets in Jira, or use your custom developer tooling.
- Unix philosophy: Qwen Code is composable and scriptable.
