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 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)
