Use /loop Autonomous Mode for End-to-End Task Execution
Automate multi-step coding tasks with the /loop autonomous command.
Use the new autonomous mode to let Qwen Code handle iterative code generation, testing, and debugging until a task is completed.
The Scenario
You have a defined but multi-step task, such as refactoring a module or building a new feature with tests, and you want the AI to handle the execution cycle autonomously.
Before & after
You manually write code, run tests, fix errors, and repeat this cycle until the feature works. This process typically takes 60–90 minutes depending on complexity.
Deploy a Qwen Code Agent and use the /loop command to delegate the entire lifecycle. The AI will iterate until the goal is met, taking roughly 2–5 minutes of your supervision.
The Prompt
/loop [TASK_DESCRIPTION] e.g., /loop Create a new React component that fetches data from [API_URL] and includes full unit test coverage.
The /loop autonomous mode introduced in v0.19.4 allows Qwen Code to operate independently, executing commands and editing files until a specific task objective is achieved without constant manual prompting.
