Looks up current LiveKit facts (API signatures, CLI flags, config options, model and provider support, SDK changelogs, pricing) from the docs instead of answering from memory. Use whenever a question touches LiveKit specifics: "does LiveKit support X", "what changed in agents 1.8", "what are the arguments to Y", "how much does LiveKit cost", "find an example of Z in the LiveKit repos", or before writing any LiveKit code. Other LiveKit skills load this one first. Covers the LiveKit Docs MCP…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Reading LiveKit documentation

LiveKit's SDKs change faster than model training data, so anything you remember about a LiveKit
API, CLI flag, or default is a guess. Wrong guesses cost time: a wrong flag wastes a run, a wrong
signature wastes a build.

**Every LiveKit-specific fact you state or put in code should come from a lookup in this
session.** That includes facts you're confident about and patterns you've seen in other repos.

## Where to look, in order of preference

**1. The LiveKit Docs MCP server.** If its tools are in your session, use them. They're the same
source the CLI uses, with less friction.

**2. `lk docs`.** Available wherever the LiveKit CLI is installed, with no MCP setup. Use it when
the MCP tools aren't there; don't stop to ask the user to install anything first. It can search the
docs, fetch pages, search code across LiveKit's repositories, show an SDK's recent changelog, report
pricing, and submit feedback. Start with:

```bash
lk docs --help
lk docs search "agent simulations"
```

Once search has shown you the right page, fetch it. There's machine-readable output if you'd
rather parse than read.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add livekit/agent-skills/reading-livekit-docs@sha256:83bef0fb1d3eb173

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.5d7488b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
