Mistral Vibe: Scheduled Loops Get a Panel UI in VS Code
Mistral VibeMistral Vibe's scheduled /loop feature, previously CLI-only, is now available in the Vibe VS Code extension with a dedicated panel UI for creating, listing, editing, and canceling recurring prompts. Developers who use /loop to run recurring agent prompts can now manage every loop visually from inside the editor instead of through slash commands alone.
Key Takeaways
- The Vibe VS Code extension now has a dedicated panel for managing
/loopscheduled, recurring prompts. - The panel supports creating, listing, editing, and canceling loops entirely through the UI.
- This closes a gap where loop management previously required CLI slash commands even for VS Code users.
- It follows a broader pattern of Mistral Vibe bringing terminal-only features into its IDE surfaces.
- The feature is aimed at developers who use recurring automated prompts, such as periodic checks or maintenance tasks.
- The same release also fixed an opaque "Internal error" that could appear when creating a loop via
/loop.
/loop Comes to VS Code With a Full Panel
Mistral Vibe's v2.25.5 changelog states that "scheduled loops (/loop) are now available in the Vibe VS Code extension with a panel UI for creating, listing, editing, and canceling recurring prompts."
From CLI Command to Visual Panel
/loop lets a developer schedule a prompt or slash command to run on a recurring interval, useful for things like periodic checks, recurring maintenance tasks, or repeated status prompts. Until this release, managing loops meant working through CLI slash commands. The new VS Code panel gives loops a dedicated visual surface: developers can see every active loop at a glance, create new ones, edit an existing schedule, or cancel a loop, all without leaving the editor or memorizing command syntax.
Why It Matters
This extends a pattern seen elsewhere in Mistral Vibe's recent releases, bringing CLI-only capabilities into its IDE surfaces. A visual panel for recurring prompts makes an already-useful automation feature considerably more discoverable and easier to manage for developers who live in VS Code rather than the terminal.
