Mistral Vibe

Works with the CLI alone. No gander.md account.

Mistral Vibe is Mistral's command-line coding assistant. It gives a conversational interface to a codebase through a set of tools.

It loads skills from ~/.vibe/skills and .vibe/skills. gander skill does not write that dest. Add a symlink after install.

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://release.gander.md/install.sh | bash
gander --version

After Homebrew or a source build, run gander skill.

mkdir -p ~/.vibe/skills
ln -sfn ~/.gander/skill ~/.vibe/skills/gander
ls -l ~/.vibe/skills/gander/SKILL.md

Restart Vibe. Ask it to list skills or to gander a markdown file.

3. Sign up and add MCP

gander signup --email [email protected]

Add a stdio MCP server named gander, command gander, args mcp, in Vibe's MCP / tools config.

4. Use it

  1. Ask Vibe for a plan as markdown, then gander this file.
  2. gander watch plan.md after signup.
  3. Send the hosted URL.
  4. @agent comments are MCP inbox work.

Fallback: gander comments.

5. Verify

gander list
gander comments
ls ~/.vibe/skills/gander
