What is jules-delegator?

A skill that delegates coding work to Jules, an autonomous AI coding agent, through the Jules command-line tool.

Use it for multi-file features, broad refactors, complex bug fixes, or other coding work you want Jules to handle.

It moves larger implementation tasks to a separate coding session while providing steps to monitor, retrieve, and review the result.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00098	$0.01457
Opus 5	$0.00049	$0.00728
Sonnet 5	$0.00020	$0.00291
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00146

Security

Grade A, and why

jules-delegator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/delegate.sh, scripts/normalize-commits.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Jules Delegator (CLI-Based)

Delegate complex tasks to Jules using the official CLI.

When to Use

Complex feature implementations that span multiple files.
Refactoring large modules.
Implementing complex bug fixes.
Delegating work to run autonomously while you focus on other tasks.

Prerequisites

Jules CLI installed (npm install -g @google/jules)
Authenticated with Google (jules login)

Core Loop

Prepare Context: Detect repository and branch.
Delegate: Create a new session with a clear prompt.
Monitor: Check session status.
Pull: Retrieve results when complete.
Review: Launch TUI for visual diff and confirmation.

Workflow

1. Authenticate

Ensure you are logged in:

jules login

2. Detect Context

Auto-detect repository using git remote get-url origin.

3. Create Session

Start a new autonomous session:

# In repo directory (auto-detects repo)
jules remote new --session "Add OAuth2 authentication to the API"

# For specific repo
jules remote new --repo owner/repo --session "Implement dark mode"

4. Monitor Sessions

Check the status of your active sessions:

jules remote list --session

5. Retrieve Results

Pull changes once the session is completed:

jules remote pull --session <session_id>

6. Interactive Mode

Launch the TUI for a visual experience:

jules

7. Post-Pull Normalization (REQUIRED)

google-labs-jules[bot] does not produce conventional commit messages. It writes prose ("I've hardened the check-adr-compliance.sh …") that fails commitlint (header-max-length, type-empty, subject-empty). See ADR-008 and PR #505 run 27086771117. Never push a Jules session's branch without normalization.

After jules remote pull --session <id>, before pushing or letting any PR open:

# 1. Verify the branch is clean
git status --porcelain

# 2. For each non-conventional commit in the Jules branch, rewrite it.
#    Find the merge-base and the head:
BASE="$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)"
HEAD="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"

# 3. Auto-rewriter (see .agents/skills/jules-delegator/scripts/normalize-commits.sh):
./.agents/skills/jules-delegator/scripts/normalize-commits.sh \
    --from "$BASE" \
    --to   "$HEAD" \
    --type fix \
    --scope security

# 4. Force-push the rewritten branch (Jules session branches are disposable).
git push --force-with-lease origin <branch>

# 5. Validate locally before requesting review.
./scripts/validate-commit-message.sh <(git log -1 --pretty=%B)

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

jules-delegator is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-o-hub/github-template-ai-agents (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 1,457 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
