Curated by Skill Harbor — @qianwen-ai's advisor for choosing between Qwen models: it starts by detecting the API key type (Token Plan `sk-sp-` key, standard PAYG key, or nothing configured — without blocking when no key is set), then works in two modes — interactive advisory (a five-question diagnostic: content type, task, quality/speed/cost priority, input size, structured output) or fast-path cross-skill resolution for execution skills that need a model decision without user interaction. Model lists and recommendations are resolved from versioned CDN catalogs with local fallbacks, never fabricated; current pricing, availability and quotas come from the QianWen CLI (`qianwen models list/info/search`, `qianwen usage`), which is the authoritative source — snapshots are explicitly forbidden as proof of current state. The skill enforces two separate credential systems (API key for model calls vs browser device-flow login for the CLI, never confused), never outputs credentials in plaintext, and mandates a pricing disclaimer on every cost-related answer. Honest caveats: **Qwen API calls are billed pay-as-you-go or through a Token Plan — a free-tier command (`qianwen usage free-tier`) exists but free quota is never guaranteed, verify before use**; live data requires Node 18+ and the QianWen CLI installed. Apache-2.0 licensed. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Install
Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ and the QianWen CLI (@qianwenai/qianwen-cli) for live model data; a Qwen/DashScope API key (PAYG) or Token Plan key for real queries — API calls are billed, verify free tier with `qianwen usage free-tier` Install "Qwen model selector and cost advisor" for me. It gives the agent @qianwen-ai's model-selection advisor: key-type detection (Token Plan sk-sp- / PAYG / not-set), interactive five-question diagnostics or fast-path lookup, model catalogs from versioned CDN snapshots with local fallbacks, live pricing/availability/quotas from the QianWen CLI, two separate credential systems (API key vs CLI device-flow login), and mandatory pricing disclaimers on cost answers — with a strict never-invent-model-names-or-prices rule. Apache-2.0 licensed. Repository: https://github.com/qianwen-ai/qianwen-ai/blob/main/skills/models/qianwen-model-selector/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "qianwen-model-selector". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. install the QianWen CLI and run `qianwen auth login`, save my API key in the vault, check `qianwen usage free-tier` before billed calls). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
