Start Small
Use a native plugin, Desktop ZIP, bootstrap, npm, or pipx path based on the task instead of installing every runtime up front.
Turn a topic into a paper route, task IDs, quality gates, literature and citation evidence, writing and code outputs, and review handoffs.

Qiongli ships the portable qiongli-workflow package plus optional local runtimes for literature search and orchestration.
Installing workflow assets does not imply local agent execution. You can use Qiongli as a skill/plugin without Python. Python 3.12+, model CLIs, and matching authentication are only required for doctor, validators, MCP orchestration, or actual task execution.
