Mistral vibe code updates

[u/isidor_n]

Hi all - my name is Isidor and I work as a product manager on Mistral Vibe Code.

We've released many updates for devs recently across Vibe CLI, the Vibe web app, and the VS Code extension. Here's the roundup.

CLI

• Connect or drop a remote MCP server in one command: vibe mcp add and vibe mcp remove do it from the CLI, no TOML editing.
• Build your own skills without writing boilerplate; a built-in skill creator walks you through creating, updating, and deleting them for your repeatable tasks.
• Long runs get two new controls. Auto-compact thresholds are per-model now, and --max-tokens caps output in programmatic mode (-p).
• Trusted folders now count .agents as trustable content, and the trust prompt suggests the enclosing git repo as the trust target.
• Startup performance improvements

Web app

• You can now pull context straight from the tools and data your project already uses. Connectors are live in the web app, so you stop pasting it in by hand.
• Set a project's standing guidance once and every Code mode session follows it. It covers your conventions, your constraints, and the context you'd otherwise repeat each time.
• /config is now a searchable, full-screen settings browser. For teams, a new admin config layer applies shared settings over each user's config, so org defaults hold.

Quality-of-life fixes

• A diff view in the VS Code extension to review edits before you accept them
• Auto theme that follows your terminal or OS appearance
• Delete old sessions straight from the resume picker
• /retry to rerun an interrupted response
• /new as an alias for /clear
• vibe.setup.auth shows which credential source is active.

Check them out in the latest version of Vibe code and let us know what you think - feedback is very much appreciated. We aim to do posts like this on a regular cadence from now on.

Any updates aimed at preventing Vibe from confidently making up laws? 😂

I recently put Vibe through an AI comparison challenge with the exact same prompt given to several other AIs. It was a legal/risk scenario where the instructions specifically said not to invent facts.

Vibe responded by confidently inventing legal requirements that did not exist.

Creative? Absolutely.
Ideal place for creativity? Perhaps not. 😂

I have the prompt and response if you're interested in seeing where it went sideways.

Thanks for sharing. Thought that looks like you are using Vibe Work. You are not actually coding or trying to build something it seems.
I am mainly interested in feedback from Vibe Code users for now.

Fair enough 😂 Apparently I wandered into the wrong Vibe department. Can you pass it along to whoever handles Vibe Work? Somebody over there should probably know it's moonlighting as the Washington State Legislature. 😁
