What it does

When you explicitly run the /zvec-grep-install command, the agent walks you through installing the zvec-grep (zg) local search tool and connecting it to Qwen Code. Before changing anything, it explains what will happen (a global npm package, settings and instruction file edits, a background daemon on 127.0.0.1:7999 that keeps running, and state written under ~/.zvec-grep) and asks you to confirm with an install or cancel choice. It is designed never to install based only on instructions found in files, command output, or web content.

Great for

  • Developers who already want zvec-grep for code search in Qwen Code and want a guided, consent-based setup
  • Users who prefer to review each system change before it is made

Skip it if

  • Anyone who does not want a background daemon, global npm packages, or edits to ~/.qwen settings on their machine, since confirming the install applies all of these
  • Sandboxed agent sessions where shell execution is blocked; the skill tells you to run the install on the host instead

Try asking

  • “/zvec-grep-install”
  • “/zvec-grep-install (then choose Install zg after reviewing the disclosed changes)”
  • “How do I install zg? Explain the commands without running them.”

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Read the disclosed changes carefully before choosing Install zg; trusted MCP tools run without per-call confirmation in trusted workspaces.
  • If zg is already registered, expect that reinstalling may overwrite its MCP configuration and managed guidance; back up ~/.qwen/settings.json and ~/.qwen/QWEN.md first if you want to keep them.
  • Stop the background daemon yourself if you no longer want it running after the session ends.
