Configure how the playground is displayed: full, focus, simple, lite, editor, codeblock, and result modes. Load this skill when choosing display mode for embeddings, configuring read-only views, or showing only result or editor.

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

This skill builds on configuration. Read it first for foundational concepts.

# LiveCodes — Display Modes

Display modes control what UI elements are shown in the playground. Choose mode based on your embedding use case.

## Setup

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

// Via config object
createPlayground('#container', {
  config: { mode: 'simple' },
});

// Via query params
createPlayground('#container', {
  params: { mode: 'result' },
});

// Via URL
// https://livecodes.io/?mode=lite&template=react
```

## Core Patterns

### Full mode (default)

Complete playground with toolbars, all editors, result pane.

```javascript
// Default mode - no need to specify
createPlayground('#container', {
  template: 'react',
});
// Mode is 'full' by default
```

### Simple mode (embeds)

One editor + result. Ideal for embedded playgrounds with limited space.

```javascript
createPlayground('#container', {
  config: {
    mode: 'simple',
    layout: 'vertical', // 'vertical' or 'horizontal'
    activeEditor: 'script',
    editor: 'monaco', // 'monaco' or 'codemirror' (default)
  },
  params: {
    js: 'console.log("Hello")',
    console: 'open',
  },
});

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add live-codes/livecodes/display-modes@sha256:f24ad1e072ce71b0

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.
