Enable Autonomous Debugging and Execution with /loop Mode

Automate the tedious 'Write-Test-Fix' cycle with autonomous agent loops.

Use the `/loop` command in Qwen Code to let the AI agent autonomously run commands and fix its own errors until a task is completed.

The Scenario

You need to implement a complex feature or perform a large-scale refactor where you expect multiple errors and iterations will be required before it works.

Before & after

The old way

Developers manually write code, run tests, see errors, and context-switch back to the editor to fix bugs. This iterative cycle for a new feature can take 1–2 hours.

With AI

Using Qwen Code's `/loop` mode, you provide the goal and the AI iteratively writes, tests, and fixes code. A complex task now takes 5–10 minutes of monitoring rather than focused manual work.

The Prompt

/loop [DESCRIBE_THE_FEATURE_OR_REFACTOR_GOAL_IN_DETAIL]

The /loop command allows the AI to enter an autonomous state where it can execute terminal commands, evaluate outputs, and refine its own code until the objective is met.
