What we know about mistral-vibe
Mistral Vibe sets its risk level by picking one of four named agent profiles — ask, plan, accept-edits and auto-approve — rather than by editing a permission table, and accept-edits, which auto-approves edits but not shell commands, is the shipped default.
“- **`ask`**: Requires approval for tool executions. · - **`plan`**: Read-only agent for exploration and planning. Auto-approves safe tools like `grep` and `read`. · - **`accept-edits`**: The default agent. Auto-approves file edits only (`write_file`, `edit`). Useful for code refactoring. · - **`a…”
Refactor with edits applied but shell commands still gated: that is the shipped default, the `accept-edits` agent.
“- **`accept-edits`**: The default agent. Auto-approves file edits only (`write_file`, `edit`). Useful for code refactoring.”
Run two agent sessions on one repository at once: `--worktree` claims a fresh git worktree per session on a `vibe/<name>` branch, so the checkouts cannot collide.
“Unlike the named form, this never reuses an existing worktree: Vibe claims a free name, adding `-2`, `-3` and so on if needed, so two sessions started at once can never land in the same checkout. The branch is always `vibe/<name>`, matching the worktrees Le Chat Desktop creates.”
Hand the agent a screenshot: `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.gif` and `.webp` attach through `@` mentions as native multimodal content.
“- Image attachments via `@` mentions — `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.gif`, `.webp` files are sent to vision-capable models (e.g. Mistral Medium 3.5) as native multimodal content.”
Windows is not a supported target, only a working one; Mistral tests and aims at UNIX.
“> [!WARNING] · > Mistral Vibe works on Windows, but we officially support and target UNIX environments.”
There is no bring-your-own-provider path in the default setup: Vibe asks for a Mistral API key from console.mistral.ai and stores it in `~/.vibe/.env`.
“To use Vibe, you'll need a Mistral API key. You can obtain one by signing up at [https://console.mistral.ai](https://console.mistral.ai).”
Interrupting the agent can break the turn: after an interrupt Vibe emits two user messages in a row, which the Devstral 2 template rejects, and the issue is open with 16 comments.
“bug: Mistral-Vibe produces multiple user messages in a row after interrupts, which the Devstral 2 template does not allow”
A Windows-first team should pick Crush, whose built-in Bash interpreter makes the same config run on Windows as on Linux.
“Because Crush has a native, built-in Bash interpreter, Bash-based config works identically across all platforms, including Windows.”

What this page does not answer
We have researched mistral-vibe and we have not researched RA.Aid. That means the judgments above answer for one tool and not for the other, and we publish no price for RA.Aid because we have not read its pricing page. Nothing on this page about RA.Aid is our opinion; there is not enough evidence yet for one.

How we check this page
- Machine facts. Stars, contributors, the newest commit on the default branch, the licence GitHub reports and the latest stable release come from the GitHub API, and download counts from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each value carries the day it was last confirmed, never the day this page was built. The line under each label is arithmetic on those two values.
- Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. Where there is no link, we wrote no claim.
- Index status. mistral-vibe carries claims we read, quoted and linked; RA.Aid does not. So this page is offered to search engines.
