Automate Coding Tasks with Qwen's Autonomous /loop Mode
Enable autonomous bug fixing and task execution in the terminal.
Use the /loop command in Qwen Code to trigger an autonomous agent that iterates on code and verifies results without manual intervention.
The Scenario
You have a non-trivial bug in a complex repository and you want the AI to not just suggest a fix, but to actually verify it by running your test suite autonomously.
Before & after
Manually tracking down a bug across multiple files and testing potential fixes takes a developer approximately 45–90 minutes.
Run the command and the agent will independently research the codebase and apply fixes, taking only 2–5 minutes of your time to review the result.
The Prompt
/loop [DESCRIBE_THE_BUG_OR_TASK_HERE] and verify the fix by running [TEST_COMMAND]
The /loop command in Qwen Code allows the AI to enter an autonomous cycle where it can run commands, read files, and iterate on code until a specific goal or test pass is achieved.
