What it does

Vibe Delegate is an agent skill from amElnagdy/delegate-skills. Delegate a coding task to the Mistral Vibe CLI (vibe) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Vibe — phrasings like "have Vibe implement X", "delegate this to Vibe", "run it through Mistral Vibe", "use vibe to implement/fix/refactor" — or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Vibe while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/dispatch-and-poll.md`, `references/multi-task-queues.md` and `references/review-and-land.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Mistral AI. The repository describes itself as: Delegate a coding task to a separate coding agent CLI, review the diff, land the commit yourself — one per implementer. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to hand implementation work to Vibe — phrasings like have Vibe implement X
  • Delegate this to Vibe
  • Run it through Mistral Vibe
  • Use vibe to implement/fix/refactor —

Example prompts

  • “have Vibe implement X”
  • “delegate this to Vibe”
  • “run it through Mistral Vibe”
  • “/vibe-delegate”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in MISTRAL_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Write the brief
  2. Dispatch
  3. Wait for completion
  4. Review — do not trust the self-report
  5. Land it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ef0210. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MISTRAL_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vibe Delegate loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 689 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Vibe Delegate

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
  2. Configure your API key with vibe --setup, or set MISTRAL_API_KEY in the environment.
  3. Confirm vibe --version succeeds.
  4. 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 change, what to leave untouched, the project's actual gates, and a report contract. Tell Vibe not to commit. Keep one task per brief. See references/writing-the-brief.md.

Default mode cannot approve most shell commands headlessly, so the orchestrator runs the gates. Ask Vibe to run them only when the human explicitly authorized --full-access.

2. Dispatch

Use the bundled helper. It wraps Vibe's headless --prompt mode, captures the structured event stream, and writes result.json. (<skill-dir> is the installed folder containing this SKILL.md.)

bash
node "<skill-dir>/scripts/relay.mjs" --brief brief.txt --cd /path/to/repo
# limit turns for cost control:           add --max-turns <n>
# indicative price threshold/token cap:  add --max-price <usd> --max-tokens <n>
# planning/read-only:                     add --plan-only
# unrestricted shell and tools:           add --full-access (explicit authorization required)
# resume the most recent session:         add --resume-last  (delta brief only)
# resume a specific session:              add --session <id> (delta brief only)
# see all options:                        node .../relay.mjs --help

The child process's cwd pins the workspace. The relay writes artifacts under the system temp dir by default and never commits. See references/dispatch-and-poll.md.

3. Wait for completion

The helper blocks until Vibe finishes. Run it with the orchestrator's background-command facility, or background it in the shell and poll for result.json. A pre-run usage error exits 2 and writes no result; a missing vibe exits 127 and writes status: "vibe_unavailable". The watchdog writes status: "timeout"; terminating the relay on POSIX writes status: "aborted" after stopping Vibe's process tree.

Trust process state and the working tree over a progress display. Completion means the process exited and result.json exists.

4. Review — do not trust the self-report

Treat Vibe's final message and gate claims as claims:

  • Re-run the project's gates yourself.
  • Read the diff against the brief, starting with touchedFiles.
  • Run relevant guard skills if installed.
  • Round-trip migrations and grep for dangling references after removals or renames.

See references/review-and-land.md.

5. Land it

The implementer edits the working tree; the orchestrator commits. Commit only after the gates pass and the diff holds. If rework is needed, send a delta brief with --resume-last or --session <id>, then review again.

Autonomy and permissions

In --prompt mode the relay always sets the agent profile explicitly:

Relay flagWhat Vibe getsUse when
(default)--agent accept-editsNormal implementation — built-in file edits are approved
--plan-only--agent planRead-only review, exploration, or planning
--full-access--agent auto-approveExplicitly authorized runs that need arbitrary shell/tools

Default mode lets Vibe edit files inside the target worktree. Approval-gated shell commands, including most project gates, are denied headlessly; the orchestrator runs the gates. --full-access disables Vibe's tool approvals and permits arbitrary shell/tool execution under the user account; use it only with explicit human authorization. Always inspect touchedFiles and the diff after a run.

--trust is always passed to prevent interactive directory-trust prompts in headless runs. It is not a sandbox and does not grant tool permissions.

Authorization model

Delegation is something the human opts into. Once they have ("run this queue", "proceed"), committing verified, gate-passing work is the agreed contract. Two limits remain: surface, don't absorb (report Vibe's design decisions, defensible-but-unasked turns, and non-blocking nitpicks) and stop for scope changes (if correct completion needs going beyond the brief, ask instead of expanding the mandate). See references/review-and-land.md.
