What problem does it solve? Maintaining the qwen-gate OpenAI-compatible proxy for Qwen models is error-prone: git pulls wipe critical patches, reverse-proxy BASE_PATH issues break the dashboard, and misconfigured TOOL_CALLING settings cause empty responses from Qwen's free API. This Skill provides the exact procedures, patches, and scripts to keep the service running correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rebuild and Restart Automation: Scripts for safe stop, build, and start cycles via supervisorctl, plus health and Hermes connectivity verification. - Patch Re-application: Applies two critical patches after git pull or fresh clone — BASE_PATH reverse-proxy rewriting and tool-stripping/context-cap fixes for Qwen's free tier. - Safe Custom Instructions: Provides a pre-merged system prompt that preserves qwen-gate's default context.txt and tool-result handling while adding XML tool-call format guidance. - Use Case: After pulling the latest qwen-gate source, run the full recovery procedure to restore config, apply patches, rebuild with bun, update the supervisor block, and verify the service on port 26405. ## Quick Start Use the qwen-gate-maintain skill to rebuild and restart the qwen-gate service and verify it is healthy.
