GCP – Master multi-tasking with the Jules extension for Gemini CLI
Tasks like fixing minor bugs, patching vulnerabilities, or updating dependencies can interrupt your workflow and drain productivity, whether you’re deep in a coding session or just starting your day.
With the new Jules extension for Gemini CLI we announced yesterday, you can delegate tasks to Jules using the /jules command right from Gemini CLI. Jules acts as your autonomous sidekick working asynchronously in the background, letting you stay actively focused in the Gemini CLI on the code that matters most to you. Try the Jules extension for Gemini CLI today!
In this post we explore several ways you can use the Jules extension in the Gemini CLI.
Tackle multiple GitHub issues in parallel
Instead of manually addressing GitHub issues one by one, you can boost the process using the Jules extension. Tianzi shows how you can use the GitHub API in the Gemini CLI to read a list of open security issues directly from a repository. From there, you can instruct Jules to work on them in parallel. Jules addresses each issue in its own isolated environment and prepares the fixes for your review.
Orchestrate complex workflows by combining the Jules extension with other Gemini CLI extensions
You can also combine Jules with other Gemini CLI extensions to create powerful, automated workflows. We have a growing list of Gemini CLI extensions you can try in combination with the Jules extension. Here are a few examples of powerful new workflows using multiple extensions.
Fixing security vulnerabilities in the background with the Jules and Security extensions
In this demo, we use the Security extension for Gemini CLI to generate critical security analysis reports, then delegate the fixes to the Jules extension to work on while we step away. We ask Jules to autonomously investigate the security report findings and work on the necessary code fixes. Jules publishes the corrected code to a new branch for a final review.
Automated bug fixing & unit testing with the Jules and Observability extensions
Streamline your development with automated bug fixing and unit testing using the Observability extension and Jules extension for Gemini CLI. In this demo, we use the Observability extension to retrieve the top crash for our app and then we delegate the entire error investigation task to Jules. Jules acts as an autonomous agent to not only find the necessary code fix but also add a unit test to prevent future recurrence.
