Qwen CLI Adapter Guide

ECC can install its managed command, agent, skill, rule, and MCP surfaces into the Qwen CLI home directory.

Install

From the ECC repository root:

./install.sh --target qwen --profile minimal

Preview a larger install before copying files:

./install.sh --target qwen --profile full --dry-run

The Qwen adapter writes into ~/.qwen/ and records managed file ownership in ~/.qwen/ecc-install-state.json.

Installed Layout

The managed install can populate:

~/.qwen/
  QWEN.md
  agents/
  commands/
  mcp-configs/
  rules/
  skills/
  ecc-install-state.json

The installer preserves the source layout for rules, so language rule sets stay under paths such as ~/.qwen/rules/common/ and ~/.qwen/rules/typescript/.

Updating

Rerun the same install command after pulling ECC updates. The installer uses the install-state file to update ECC-managed files without claiming unrelated user files in ~/.qwen/.

Uninstalling

Use the managed uninstall path rather than deleting the whole Qwen directory:

node scripts/uninstall.js --target qwen

That removes files recorded in ~/.qwen/ecc-install-state.json and leaves unrelated Qwen configuration alone.

Scope

This target is intentionally narrower than stale PR #1352. It ports the maintainable Qwen install-target intent onto the current selective installer and avoids unverified hook-runtime claims until Qwen's hook/event contract is confirmed.
