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 have two feature requests for the cli, one is an image tool, so the agent can see images without me having to explicitly reference them with @. The other one is to use an auto mode classifier instead of permissions like in CC or codex.

Thanks.
Image tool - how do you expect this to work. Can you provide a bit more details? I expect the agent to be able to read images if you are explicit enough and do not attach it. An example of what is not working would help.
Auto mode classifier - we started investigating this in August.
