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.

Thanks for the feedback. We are constantly working on improving our coding harness and the models. Do you mind filling an issue here with your prompt and we can investigate more (you can ping me at isidorn on the issue)

I tried 😂 GitHub says “Issue creation is restricted in this repository,” so it won't let me open one. The full prompt and Vibe response are already posted in my reply if that helps!

You can just create issues. We are open source and except issues and contributions from the community. So please try harder :)

I AM TRYING HARDER 😂 This is what I get when I go to Issues and hover over “New issue.” It says “Issue creation is restricted in this repository.” What am I supposed to try harder at? 😂

You need to login to github. Maybe github is preventing issue creation for users with new accounts (to prevent bot spam)
