## Going Deeper

For facts not covered here, fetch the README:
https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-vibe/blob/main/README.md
It tracks the latest release, so check `vibe --version` before relying on it for
anything version-specific. Point the user at

## VIBE_HOME

The user's Vibe home directory defaults to `~/.vibe` but can be overridden via
the `VIBE_HOME` environment variable. All user-level configuration, skills, tools,
agents, prompts, logs, and session data live here.
