Jules in the command line

October 2, 2025

Jules Tools

We’re launching Jules Tools, a new command-line interface designed to give you direct control over your AI coding agent, making it scriptable, customizable, and easy to integrate into your existing workflows.

Key Features:

  • Direct Control: Create tasks (jules remote new), list active sessions (jules remote list), and monitor Jules without leaving your command line.
  • Apply Patches Locally: Instantly pull work-in-progress code from an active Jules session and apply it to your local machine. This lets you test changes immediately, without waiting for a commit to GitHub.
  • Scriptable & Composable: Integrate Jules into your automations by piping in output from other tools like gh, jq, or cat.
  • Interactive Dashboard: For a more guided experience, launch the built-in terminal user interface (TUI) to create and manage tasks step-by-step.

How to Install:

Install globally via npm: npm install -g @google/jules

Or run directly without a permanent installation: npx @google/jules

Starter Commands to Try:

See all available commands: jules help

List all repos connected to Jules: jules remote list --repo

Create a new task in a specific repo: jules remote new --repo torvalds/linux --session "write unit tests"
