Summary
This post introduces Jules Tools, a command-line interface (CLI) and terminal user interface (TUI) for interacting with the Jules asynchronous coding agent. It details installation via npm, command and flag usage, and provides practical examples of integrating Jules Tools with other CLI tools (e.g., `gh`, `jq`, `gemini`) for tasks like listing repositories, creating remote sessions, assigning sessions from TODO files, and piping GitHub issues to Jules. The TUI offers a dashboard view and step-by-step creation of tasks. The post also outlines the hybrid development philosophy behind Jules Tools, combining local and remote execution with DIY and delegation approaches.
