Vibe Delegate

When to Use

• You want to delegate a bounded coding task to a separate vibe implementer (Mistral Vibe) and then review its diff yourself.
• The user explicitly asked for delegation to this implementer.

You are the orchestrator. Hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer — the Mistral Vibe CLI (vibe) — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Vibe does the typing in its own session; you verify and commit.

The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.

When NOT to use this

• The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
• The vibe CLI is not installed or authenticated.

Prerequisites (check once)

1. Install uv, then Mistral Vibe:

• uv tool install mistral-vibe

1. Configure your API key with vibe --setup, or set MISTRAL_API_KEY in the environment.
2. Confirm vibe --version succeeds.
3. Work in, or point --cd at, the target git repository.

The loop

Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.

1. Write the brief

Vibe sees only the text you send plus what it can inspect in the workspace — no chat history or shared context. Include the goal, current state, what to chan
