Quick start for standalone app at livecodes.io, embedding playgrounds with CDN or npm, and self-hosting basics. Load this skill for initial setup and basic usage patterns.

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

# LiveCodes — Get Started

LiveCodes is a client-side code playground that runs in the browser. No server, no build step, no `npm install`.

## Quick Start

### Standalone App

1. Go to [livecodes.io](https://livecodes.io)
2. Start coding with 90+ languages

### Embedded Playground (CDN)

```html
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="module">
  import { createPlayground } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/livecodes';

  createPlayground('#container', {
    params: {
      markdown: '# Hello LiveCodes!',
      css: 'h1 { color: dodgerblue; }',
      js: 'console.log("Hello, from JS!");',
      console: 'open',
    },
  });
</script>
```

### Embedded Playground (npm)

```bash
npm install livecodes
```

```javascript
import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

createPlayground('#container', {
  template: 'react',
});
```

### Self-Hosted

1. Download from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/live-codes/livecodes/releases)
2. Host on any static server (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, etc.)
3. Point SDK to your instance:

```javascript
import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

createPlayground('#container', {
  appUrl: 'https://your-domain.com/livecodes',
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add live-codes/livecodes/getting-started@sha256:6b40b9596fcedaa1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.daf8be4, 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.
