Mistral Vibe: /skills Manager Lists, Searches and Toggles Your Skills

Mistral VibeView original changelog

Mistral Vibe added a /skills manager that lists installed skills one row per name, with search and a Space toggle to turn each skill on or off. The highlighted skill's body shows under the list, or beside it on wide terminals. With registry skills enabled, a Shared tab lists skills to add, and users can pin a version or alias per scope, preview versions, unpin or remove a skill.

Key Takeaways

  • /skills is now a full manager, with one row per skill name, search and a Space key to switch each skill on or off.
  • The highlighted skill's body is previewed under the list, or beside it on wide terminals, so users can read before enabling.
  • With registry skills on, a Shared tab lists skills to add from the registry.
  • Users can pin a version or alias per scope, preview versions, unpin a scope or remove a skill.
  • Project skills now override global ones of the same name, including those from skill_paths.
  • Unused cached shared versions are deleted after 30 days when the registry can still serve them, and missing pinned skills are refetched at session start, sandboxed sessions included.

A Real Skills Screen in the Terminal

Mistral Vibe 3.1.2 adds a /skills view that lists the skills installed in a session, with one row per skill name. A search field narrows the list, and pressing Space switches the highlighted skill on or off without leaving the screen. The body of the highlighted skill appears under the list, or beside it on wide terminals, so users can read what a skill does before enabling it.

Shared Skills From the Registry

When registry skills are turned on, the same screen gains a Shared tab that lists shared skills ready to add. For each skill, users can pin a version or an alias per scope, preview each available version, unpin a scope, or remove the skill entirely.

Project Skills Win Over Global Ones

With registry skills on, a project's own skills, files or pins now take priority over global ones of the same name, including skills that come from skill_paths. Cached shared skill versions that have gone unused for 30 days are deleted when the registry can still serve them again. Sessions also fetch pinned skills missing from the machine when they start, including sandboxed sessions, which fixes a case where pinned skills were not restored.
