brainclaw + Mistral Vibe

EU-sovereign coding agent with brainclaw-native MCP and skills.

Mistral Vibe is the Paris-based code agent from Mistral AI — Apache 2.0 CLI, open-weight models, EU data residency by default. brainclaw configures Vibe via the universal AGENTS.md instruction file, the shared .agents/skills/brainclaw/ skill folder, and a TOML MCP config so the agent can call brainclaw tools natively. Strategic fit when GDPR / sovereignty / no-CLOUD-Act matters more than US-vendor reach.

Install via Mistral Vibe

Paste this prompt directly into Mistral Vibe and let it handle the setup.

Please install brainclaw and initialize it for this project.

Run: npm install -g brainclaw && brainclaw init

brainclaw will detect Mistral Vibe, write AGENTS.md with the project's plans, decisions, and traps, install the brainclaw skill at .agents/skills/brainclaw/SKILL.md, and configure the MCP server in ~/.config/mistral-vibe/mcp.toml. Commit AGENTS.md and the skill file to Git.

Auto-setup

Run one command. brainclaw detects Mistral Vibe and writes its native files automatically, including AGENTS.md.

npm install -g brainclaw && brainclaw init

Detection: vibe binary on PATH.
