Mistral Vibe 2.0 adds custom subagents, slash commands

Terminal-native coding agent now supports custom subagents, multi-choice clarifications, and slash-command skills—controlled execution replaces guessing on ambiguous intent.

July 3, 2026

Summary

Reduces context-switching between tools and manual confirmation loops. Slash-command skills and custom agent modes let you codify your team's workflows once, then invoke them without re-prompting.

Implementation verdict

Replaces ad-hoc natural-language prompts with templated, chainable tasks. Requires Le Chat Pro/Team plan subscription or BYOK (API key). Worth trying now if you run Vibe CLI daily—auto-updating CLI and pay-as-you-go overages lower friction. Free Experiment plan tier available for prototyping before committing.
