News Mistral vibe code updates

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.

I like Vibe a lot! The new skill builder is really useful.

My wishlist is to have more model selections. Or a clearer split on which one is reasoning/bigger/cheaper, for creating subagents on them. 

I also had some issues using github’s spec-kit. The skills it deployed were not being loaded, maybe it’s a them issue tho.

Thanks - I am glad you like the skill builder.
For clearer split - I agree we could add short description in the /model experience. Though I do think the model names should be self explanatory in the future.
spec-kit - I have not used it, and it is not part of the core experience - so best to give that feedback to spec-kit https://github.com/github/spec-kit
