Jules Tools Skill
This skill allows the AI agent to interface with the Jules Tools CLI to manage Google's Jules AI coding sessions. With this skill, the agent can start new coding sessions, list active sessions, and retrieve results directly from the terminal.
Prerequisites
Before using any Jules commands, ensure the jules CLI is installed and authenticated.
1. Installation
Check if jules is installed by running:
jules --versionIf the command is not found, install it using npm:
npm install -g @google/julesNote: Installation might requiresudopermissions depending on the system configuration. Ifnpm install -gfails due to permissions, trysudo npm install -g @google/julesor ask the user for assistance.
2. Authentication
The agent must be authenticated to interact with Jules. To authenticate, run:
jules loginThis command will open a browser window for the user to sign in with their Google account. If the agent is running in a headless environment, guide the user to perform this step on their local machine or provide alternative authentication methods if available (refer to jules login --help).
To verify authentication or log out, use:
jules logoutUsage
The primary command for interacting with Jules is jules remote.
List Sessions
To see all active or past coding sessions:
jules remote list --sessionTo list connected repositories:
jules remote list --repoStart a New Session
To start a new coding session (task) for Jules:
jules remote new --repo <repo_name> --session "<task_description>"<repo_name>: The repository name (e.g.,torvalds/linux) or.for the current directory's repo.<task_description>: A clear description of what Jules should do (e.g., "Fix the bug in the login handler").
Example:
jules remote new --repo . --session "Add a new test case for the user profile component"You can also start multiple parallel sessions:
jules remote new --repo . --session "Refactor the database schema" --parallel 2Retrieve Session Results
Once a session is complete, you can pull the results (code changes):
jules remote pull --session <session_id><session_id>: The ID of the session you want to pull (obtained fromjules remote list).
