Create and manage Google Jules AI coding sessions to automate tasks like code writing, bug fixing, testing, and PR creation on GitHub repos using the Jules API.
Create and manage Google Jules AI coding sessions to automate tasks like code writing, bug fixing, testing, and PR creation on GitHub repos using the Jules API.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interact with the Google Jules AI coding agent via its REST API. Jules can autonomously execute coding tasks on your GitHub repositories โ writing code, fixing bugs, adding tests, and creating pull requests. Base URL: https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha Auth: Pass your API key via the x-goog-api-key header. Get one at jules.google.com/settings.
Discover which GitHub repos are connected to your Jules account: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sources?pageSize=30" With pagination: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sources?pageSize=10&pageToken=PAGE_TOKEN" Filter specific sources: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sources?filter=name%3Dsources%2Fgithub-owner-repo"
Get details and branches for a specific repo: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sources/SOURCE_ID" Example: sources/github-myorg-myrepo โ replace with your actual source ID from List Sources.
Create a new Jules session to execute a coding task on a repo: curl -s -X POST \ -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "prompt": "TASK_DESCRIPTION", "title": "OPTIONAL_TITLE", "sourceContext": { "source": "sources/github-OWNER-REPO", "githubRepoContext": { "startingBranch": "main" } }, "requirePlanApproval": true }' \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions"
ParameterRequiredDescriptionpromptYesThe task description for Jules to executetitleNoOptional title (auto-generated if omitted)sourceContext.sourceYesSource resource name (e.g. sources/github-owner-repo)sourceContext.githubRepoContext.startingBranchYesBranch to start from (e.g. main, develop)requirePlanApprovalNoIf true, plans need explicit approval before executionautomationModeNoSet to AUTO_CREATE_PR to auto-create PRs when done
curl -s -X POST \ -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "prompt": "Add comprehensive unit tests for the auth module", "sourceContext": { "source": "sources/github-myorg-myrepo", "githubRepoContext": { "startingBranch": "main" } }, "automationMode": "AUTO_CREATE_PR" }' \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions"
List all your Jules sessions: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions?pageSize=10" Paginate with pageToken: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions?pageSize=10&pageToken=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN"
Retrieve a single session by ID (includes outputs like PRs if completed): curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions/SESSION_ID"

When a session is in AWAITING_PLAN_APPROVAL state, approve the plan: curl -s -X POST \ -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{}' \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions/SESSION_ID:approvePlan"
Send feedback, answer questions, or give additional instructions to an active session: curl -s -X POST \ -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "prompt": "YOUR_MESSAGE_HERE" }' \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions/SESSION_ID:sendMessage" Use this when session state is AWAITING_USER_FEEDBACK or to provide additional guidance during IN_PROGRESS.
Get all events/progress for a session: curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions/SESSION_ID/activities?pageSize=50" Get activities after a specific timestamp (for polling): curl -s -H "x-goog-api-key: $JULES_API_KEY" \ "https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions/SESSION_ID/activities?createTime=2026-01-17T00:03:53Z"
