Execute Complex Multi-Step Coding Tasks Automatically via /goal
Use /goal to let AI navigate and complete multi-step tasks.
Initiate autonomous coding sessions using the /goal command to let Qwen Code plan, execute, and verify complex technical changes autonomously.
The Scenario
You have a complex, multi-step coding task that involves touching several files and requires running tests to ensure nothing broke. Instead of doing it manually, you want an agent to drive the process to completion.
Before & after
Manually planning a refactor, writing the code, and running tests for a complex feature usually requires 1–2 hours of focused work and context-switching.
Using Qwen Code's /goal command, the agent autonomously plans, writes, and verifies the solution. This process takes 3–5 minutes while you oversee the execution.
The Prompt
/goal [DESCRIBE_YOUR_CODING_TASK_IN_DETAIL_E.G._REFACTOR_THE_USER_AUTH_MODULE_TO_USE_JWT]
The /goal command allows Qwen Code to operate as an autonomous coding agent. It includes an 'independent judge model' to check if the goal is met and 'impossible-goal detection' to alert you if the task is logically unsound.
