Start a new CourseCode e-learning course project (SCORM, cmi5, or LTI) and get the live preview running. Use when someone wants to create, start, or set up a course, training module, or e-learning project, or turn a PowerPoint into an interactive course.

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

# Start a new CourseCode course

CourseCode courses are plain project files: slides in `course/slides/*.js`, settings in `course/course-config.js`, branding in `course/theme.css`. The `coursecode` MCP server gives you a headless preview, linting, and catalogs of components, interactions, CSS classes, and icons for that project.

## 1. Check the folder

The MCP server only sees a `course/` directory in the folder this session started in. Create the project **in the current folder** unless the author insists on a subfolder.

- Already has `course/`? It is a CourseCode project. Call `coursecode_workflow_status` and continue from the stage it reports instead of creating anything.
- Empty or unrelated files only? Create the project here.
- If the author wants a subfolder, create it, then tell them to start a new session in that folder so the CourseCode tools can see it.

Requires Node.js 22.15 or later (`node --version`). If Node is missing or older, use the `setup` skill, which offers to install it.

## 2. Choose the starting point, then create

Use the starting point already supplied by the author; ask only if it is unclear. Pick the matching command:

| Starting point | Command |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add course-code-framework/coursecode/new-course@sha256:41fc746abdae025b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.98200d2, 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.
