sanjay3290/jules
Delegate coding tasks to Google Jules AI agent for asynchronous execution. Use when user says: 'have Jules fix', 'delegate to Jules', 'send to Jules', 'ask Jules to', 'check Jules sessions', 'pull Jules results', 'jules add tests', 'jules add docs', 'jules review pr'. Handles: bug fixes, documentation, features, tests, refactoring, code reviews. Works with GitHub repos, creates PRs.

Delegate coding tasks to Google's Jules AI agent on GitHub repositories.
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| JULES_API_KEY | For API auth | API key from jules.google.com/settings |
Two auth paths are available. Use Path 1 for interactive use, Path 2 for headless/agent use.
which jules || npm install -g @google/jules
jules remote list --repo
If fails → tell user to run jules login (or --no-launch-browser for headless)
Get key from jules.google.com/settings (3-key limit per account).
export JULES_API_KEY="your-api-key"

git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null | sed -E 's#.*(github\.com)[/:]([^/]+/[^/.]+)(\.git)?#\2#'
If not GitHub or not in git repo → ask user for --repo owner/repo
Check repo is in jules remote list --repo. If not → direct to https://jules.google.com

Enrich prompts with current context for better results:
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
RECENT_FILES=$(git diff --name-only HEAD~3 2>/dev/null | head -10 | tr '\n' ', ')
RECENT_COMMITS=$(git log --oneline -5 | tr '\n' '; ')
STAGED=$(git diff --cached --name-only | tr '\n' ', ')
Use when creating tasks (CLI):
jules new --repo owner/repo "Fix the bug in auth module. Context: branch=$BRANCH, recently modified: $RECENT_FILES"
Use when creating tasks (API):
curl -s -X POST "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{

Quick commands for common tasks:
FILES=$(git diff --name-only HEAD~3 2>/dev/null | grep -E '\.(js|ts|py|go|java)$' | head -5 | tr '\n' ', ')
jules new "Add unit tests for recently modified files: $FILES. Include edge cases and mocks where needed."

After Jules completes, apply changes to a new branch:
SESSION_ID="<id>"

# Create branch, apply, commit
git checkout -b "jules/$SESSION_ID"
jules remote pull --session "$SESSION_ID" --apply

JULES_API_KEY) for headless/agent automation; use CLI for interactive sessionsTake sanjay3290/jules from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
