+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers Mainline's pipeline architecture - the Stage-based system for dependency resolution, data flow, and component composition.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Stage Class (engine/pipeline/core.py)
+
+The `Stage` ABC is the foundation. All pipeline components inherit from it:
+
+```python
+class Stage(ABC):
+ name: str
+ category: str # "source", "effect", "overlay", "display", "camera"
+ optional: bool = False
+
+ @property
+ def capabilities(self) -> set[str]:
+ """What this stage provides (e.g., 'source.headlines')"""
+ return set()
+
+ @property
+ def dependencies(self) -> list[str]:
+ """What this stage needs (e.g., ['source'])"""
+ return []
+```
+
+### Capability-Based Dependencies
+
+The Pipeline resolves dependencies using **prefix matching**:
+- `"source"` matches `"source.headlines"`, `"source.poetry"`, etc.
+- This allows flexible composition without hardcoding specific stage names
+
+### DataType Enum
+
+PureData-style data types for inlet/outlet validation:
+- `SOURCE_ITEMS`: List[SourceItem] - raw items from sources
+- `ITEM_TUPLES`: List[tuple] - (title, source, timestamp) tuples
+- `TEXT_BUFFER`: List[str] - rendered ANSI buffer
+- `RAW_TEXT`: str - raw text strings
+- `PIL_IMAGE`: PIL Image object
+
+### Pipeline Execution
+
+The Pipeline (engine/pipeline/controller.py):
+1. Collects all stages from StageRegistry
+2. Resolves dependencies using prefix matching
+3. Executes stages in dependency order
+4. Handles errors for non-optional stages
+
+### Canvas & Camera
+
+- **Canvas** (`engine/canvas.py`): 2D rendering surface with dirty region tracking
+- **Camera** (`engine/camera.py`): Viewport controller for scrolling content
+
+Canvas tracks dirty regions automatically when content is written via `put_region`, `put_text`, `fill`, enabling partial buffer updates.
+
+## Adding New Stages
+
+1. Create a class inheriting from `Stage`
+2. Define `capabilities` and `dependencies` properties
+3. Implement required abstract methods
+4. Register in StageRegistry or use as adapter
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+- Use adapters (engine/pipeline/adapters.py) to wrap existing components as stages
+- Set `optional=True` for stages that can fail gracefully
+- Use `stage_type` and `render_order` for execution ordering

+description: Display backend implementation and the Display protocol
+compatibility: opencode
+metadata:
+ audience: developers
+ source_type: codebase
+---
+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers Mainline's display backend system - how to implement new display backends and how the Display protocol works.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Display Protocol
+
+All backends implement a common Display protocol (in `engine/display/__init__.py`):
+
+```python
+class Display(Protocol):
+ def show(self, buf: list[str]) -> None:
+ """Display the buffer"""
+ ...
+
+ def clear(self) -> None:
+ """Clear the display"""
+ ...
+
+ def size(self) -> tuple[int, int]:
+ """Return (width, height)"""
+ ...
+```
+
+### DisplayRegistry
+
+Discovers and manages backends:
+
+```python
+from engine.display import get_monitor
+display = get_monitor("terminal") # or "websocket", "sixel", "null", "multi"
+```
+
+### Available Backends
+
+| Backend | File | Description |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| terminal | backends/terminal.py | ANSI terminal output |
+| websocket | backends/websocket.py | Web browser via WebSocket |
+| sixel | backends/sixel.py | Sixel graphics (pure Python) |
+| null | backends/null.py | Headless for testing |
+| multi | backends/multi.py | Forwards to multiple displays |
+
+### WebSocket Backend
+
+- WebSocket server: port 8765
+- HTTP server: port 8766 (serves client/index.html)
+- Client has ANSI color parsing and fullscreen support
+
+### Multi Backend
+
+Forwards to multiple displays simultaneously - useful for `terminal + websocket`.
+
+## Adding a New Backend
+
+1. Create `engine/display/backends/my_backend.py`
+2. Implement the Display protocol methods
+3. Register in `engine/display/__init__.py`'s `DisplayRegistry`
+
+Required methods:
+- `show(buf: list[str])` - Display buffer
+- `clear()` - Clear screen
+- `size() -> tuple[int, int]` - Terminal dimensions
+
+Optional methods:
+- `title(text: str)` - Set window title
+- `cursor(show: bool)` - Control cursor
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+python mainline.py --display terminal # default
+python mainline.py --display websocket
+python mainline.py --display sixel
+python mainline.py --display both # terminal + websocket
+```

+description: How to add new effect plugins to Mainline's effect system
+compatibility: opencode
+metadata:
+ audience: developers
+ source_type: codebase
+---
+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers Mainline's effect plugin system - how to create, configure, and integrate visual effects into the pipeline.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### EffectPlugin ABC (engine/effects/types.py)
+
+All effects must inherit from `EffectPlugin` and implement:
+
+```python
+class EffectPlugin(ABC):
+ name: str
+ config: EffectConfig
+ param_bindings: dict[str, dict[str, str | float]] = {}
+ supports_partial_updates: bool = False
+
+ @abstractmethod
+ def process(self, buf: list[str], ctx: EffectContext) -> list[str]:
+ """Process buffer with effect applied"""
+ ...
+
+ @abstractmethod
+ def configure(self, config: EffectConfig) -> None:
+ """Configure the effect"""
+ ...
+```
+
+### EffectContext
+
+Passed to every effect's process method:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class EffectContext:
+ terminal_width: int
+ terminal_height: int
+ scroll_cam: int
+ ticker_height: int
+ camera_x: int = 0
+ mic_excess: float = 0.0
+ grad_offset: float = 0.0
+ frame_number: int = 0
+ has_message: bool = False
+ items: list = field(default_factory=list)
+ _state: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
+```
+
+Access sensor values via `ctx.get_sensor_value("sensor_name")`.
+
+### EffectConfig
+
+Configuration dataclass:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class EffectConfig:
+ enabled: bool = True
+ intensity: float = 1.0
+ params: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
+```
+
+### Partial Updates
+
+For performance optimization, set `supports_partial_updates = True` and implement `process_partial`:
+
+```python
+class MyEffect(EffectPlugin):
+ supports_partial_updates = True
+
+ def process_partial(self, buf, ctx, partial: PartialUpdate) -> list[str]:
+ # Only process changed regions
+ ...
+```
+
+## Adding a New Effect
+
+1. Create file in `effects_plugins/my_effect.py`
+2. Inherit from `EffectPlugin`
+3. Implement `process()` and `configure()`
+4. Add to `effects_plugins/__init__.py` (runtime discovery via issubclass checks)
+
+## Param Bindings
+
+Declarative sensor-to-param mappings:
+
+```python
+param_bindings = {
+ "intensity": {"sensor": "mic", "transform": "linear"},
+ "rate": {"sensor": "oscillator", "transform": "exponential"},
+}
+```
+
+Transforms: `linear`, `exponential`, `threshold`
+
+## Effect Chain
+
+Effects are chained via `engine/effects/chain.py` - processes each effect in order, passing output to next.
+
+## Existing Effects
+
+See `effects_plugins/`:
+- noise.py, fade.py, glitch.py, firehose.py
+- border.py, crop.py, tint.py, hud.py

+---
+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers how to create pipeline presets in TOML format for Mainline's rendering pipeline.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Preset Loading Order
+
+Presets are loaded from multiple locations (later overrides earlier):
+1. Built-in: `engine/presets.toml`
+2. User config: `~/.config/mainline/presets.toml`
+3. Local override: `./presets.toml`
+
+### PipelinePreset Dataclass
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class PipelinePreset:
+ name: str
+ description: str = ""
+ source: str = "headlines" # Data source
+ display: str = "terminal" # Display backend
+ camera: str = "scroll" # Camera mode
+ effects: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
+ border: bool = False
+```
+
+### TOML Format
+
+```toml
+[presets.my-preset]
+description = "My custom pipeline"
+source = "headlines"
+display = "terminal"
+camera = "scroll"
+effects = ["noise", "fade"]
+border = true
+```
+
+## Creating a Preset
+
+### Option 1: User Config
+
+Create/edit `~/.config/mainline/presets.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[presets.my-cool-preset]
+description = "Noise and glitch effects"
+source = "headlines"
+display = "terminal"
+effects = ["noise", "glitch"]
+```
+
+### Option 2: Local Override
+
+Create `./presets.toml` in project root:
+
+```toml
+[presets.dev-inspect]
+description = "Pipeline introspection for development"
+source = "headlines"
+display = "terminal"
+effects = ["hud"]
+```
+
+### Option 3: Built-in
+
+Edit `engine/presets.toml` (requires PR to repository).
+
+## Available Sources
+
+- `headlines` - RSS news feeds
+- `poetry` - Literature mode
+- `pipeline-inspect` - Live DAG visualization
+
+## Available Displays
+
+- `terminal` - ANSI terminal
+- `websocket` - Web browser
+- `sixel` - Sixel graphics
+- `null` - Headless
+
+## Available Effects
+
+See `effects_plugins/`:
+- noise, fade, glitch, firehose
+- border, crop, tint, hud
+
+## Validation Functions
+
+Use these from `engine/pipeline/presets.py`:
+- `validate_preset()` - Validate preset structure
+- `validate_signal_path()` - Detect circular dependencies
+- `generate_preset_toml()` - Generate skeleton preset

+metadata:
+ audience: developers
+ source_type: codebase
+---
+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers Mainline's sensor framework - how to use, create, and integrate sensors for real-time input.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Sensor Base Class (engine/sensors/__init__.py)
+
+```python
+class Sensor(ABC):
+ name: str
+ unit: str = ""
+
+ @property
+ def available(self) -> bool:
+ """Whether sensor is currently available"""
+ return True
+
+ @abstractmethod
+ def read(self) -> SensorValue | None:
+ """Read current sensor value"""
+ ...
+
+ def start(self) -> None:
+ """Initialize sensor (optional)"""
+ pass
+
+ def stop(self) -> None:
+ """Clean up sensor (optional)"""
+ pass
+```
+
+### SensorValue Dataclass
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SensorValue:
+ sensor_name: str
+ value: float
+ timestamp: float
+ unit: str = ""
+```
+
+### SensorRegistry
+
+Discovers and manages sensors globally:
+
+```python
+from engine.sensors import SensorRegistry
+registry = SensorRegistry()
+sensor = registry.get("mic")
+```
+
+### SensorStage
+
+Pipeline adapter that provides sensor values to effects:
+
+```python
+from engine.pipeline.adapters import SensorStage
+stage = SensorStage(sensor_name="mic")
+```
+
+## Built-in Sensors
+
+| Sensor | File | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| MicSensor | sensors/mic.py | Microphone input (RMS dB) |
+| OscillatorSensor | sensors/oscillator.py | Test sine wave generator |
+| PipelineMetricsSensor | sensors/pipeline_metrics.py | FPS, frame time, etc. |
+
+## Param Bindings
+
+Effects declare sensor-to-param mappings:
+
+```python
+class GlitchEffect(EffectPlugin):
+ param_bindings = {
+ "intensity": {"sensor": "mic", "transform": "linear"},
+ }
+```
+
+### Transform Functions
+
+- `linear` - Direct mapping to param range
+- `exponential` - Exponential scaling
+- `threshold` - Binary on/off
+
+## Adding a New Sensor
+
+1. Create `engine/sensors/my_sensor.py`
+2. Inherit from `Sensor` ABC
+3. Implement required methods
+4. Register in `SensorRegistry`
+
+Example:
+```python
+class MySensor(Sensor):
+ name = "my-sensor"
+ unit = "units"
+
+ def read(self) -> SensorValue | None:
+ return SensorValue(
+ sensor_name=self.name,
+ value=self._read_hardware(),
+ timestamp=time.time(),
+ unit=self.unit
+ )
+```
+
+## Using Sensors in Effects
+
+Access sensor values via EffectContext:
+
+```python
+def process(self, buf, ctx):
+ mic_level = ctx.get_sensor_value("mic")
+ if mic_level and mic_level > 0.5:
+ # Apply intense effect
+ ...
+```
+
+Or via param_bindings (automatic):
+
+```python
+# If intensity is bound to "mic", it's automatically
+# available in self.config.intensity
+```

+description: Adding new RSS feeds and data sources to Mainline
+compatibility: opencode
+metadata:
+ audience: developers
+ source_type: codebase
+---
+
+## What This Skill Covers
+
+This skill covers how to add new data sources (RSS feeds, poetry) to Mainline.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Feeds Dictionary (engine/sources.py)
+
+All feeds are defined in a simple dictionary:
+
+```python
+FEEDS = {
+ "Feed Name": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
+ # Category comments help organize:
+ # Science & Technology
+ # Economics & Business
+ # World & Politics
+ # Culture & Ideas
+}
+```
+
+### Poetry Sources
+
+Project Gutenberg URLs for public domain literature:
+
+```python
+POETRY_SOURCES = {
+ "Author Name": "https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1234/pg1234.txt",
+}
+```
+
+### Language & Script Mapping
+
+The sources.py also contains language/script detection mappings used for auto-translation and font selection.
+
+## Adding a New RSS Feed
+
+1. Edit `engine/sources.py`
+2. Add entry to `FEEDS` dict under appropriate category:
+ ```python
+ "My Feed": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
+ ```
+3. The feed will be automatically discovered on next run
+
+### Feed Requirements
+
+- Must be valid RSS or Atom XML
+- Should have `
` elements for items
+- Must be HTTP/HTTPS accessible
+
+## Adding Poetry Sources
+
+1. Edit `engine/sources.py`
+2. Add to `POETRY_SOURCES` dict:
+ ```python
+ "Author": "https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/XXXX/pgXXXX.txt",
+ ```
+
+### Poetry Requirements
+
+- Plain text (UTF-8)
+- Project Gutenberg format preferred
+- No DRM-protected sources
+
+## Data Flow
+
+Feeds are fetched via `engine/fetch.py`:
+- `fetch_feed(url)` - Fetches and parses RSS/Atom
+- Results cached for fast restarts
+- Filtered via `engine/filter.py` for content cleaning
+
+## Categories
+
+Organize new feeds by category using comments:
+- Science & Technology
+- Economics & Business
+- World & Politics
+- Culture & Ideas

* Importing the render pipeline from `serve.py` \(future ESP32 HTTP server\)
* Testing any concern in isolation
* Porting individual layers to Rust independently

* `_GRAD_COLS` gradient table \(lines 169\-182\)
* `_font()`, `_font_for_lang()` with lazy\-load \+ cache \(lines 185\-202\)

Visual effects applied during the frame loop:
+
* `noise()` \(lines 237\-245\)
* `glitch_bar()` \(lines 248\-252\)
* `_fade_line()` — probabilistic character dissolve \(lines 659\-680\)

### engine/scroll\.py
+
The `stream()` function \(lines 804\-990\)\. Receives its dependencies via arguments or imports:
+
* `stream(items, ntfy_poller, mic_monitor, config)` or similar
* Message rendering \(lines 855\-909\) stays here since it's terminal\-display\-specific — a different visualizer would render messages differently
+
### engine/app\.py
+
The orchestrator:
+
* `TITLE` ASCII art \(lines 994\-1001\)
* `main()` \(lines 1004\-1084\): CLI handling, signal setup, boot animation, fetch, wire up ntfy/mic/scroll
+
## Execution order
+
### Step 1: Create engine/ package skeleton
+
Create `engine/__init__.py` and all empty module files\.
+
### Step 2: Extract pure data modules \(zero\-dep\)
+
Move constants and data dicts into `config.py`, `sources.py`\. These have no logic dependencies\.
+
### Step 3: Extract terminal\.py
+
Move ANSI codes and terminal I/O helpers\. No internal deps\.
+
### Step 4: Extract filter\.py and translate\.py
+
Both are small, self\-contained\. translate imports from sources\.
+
### Step 5: Extract render\.py
+
Font loading \+ the OTF→half\-block pipeline\. Imports from config, terminal, sources\. This is the module `serve.py` will later import\.
+
### Step 6: Extract effects\.py
+
Visual effects\. Imports from config, terminal, sources\.
+
### Step 7: Extract fetch\.py
+
Feed/Gutenberg fetching \+ caching\. Imports from config, sources, filter, terminal\.
+
### Step 8: Extract ntfy\.py and mic\.py
+
Refactor globals\+threads into classes\. Zero internal deps\.
+
### Step 9: Extract scroll\.py
+
The frame loop\. Last to extract because it depends on everything above\.
+
### Step 10: Extract app\.py
+
The `main()` function, boot sequence, signal handler\. Wire up all modules\.
+
### Step 11: Slim down mainline\.py
+
Keep only venv bootstrap \+ `from engine.app import main; main()`\.
+
### Step 12: Verify
+
Run `python3 mainline.py`, `python3 mainline.py --poetry`, and `python3 mainline.py --firehose` to confirm identical behavior\. No behavioral changes in this refactor\.
+
## What this enables
+
* **serve\.py** \(future\): `from engine.render import _render_line, _big_wrap` \+ `from engine.fetch import fetch_all` — imports the pipeline directly
* **Other visualizers**: `from engine.ntfy import NtfyPoller` — doorbell feature with no coupling to mainline's scroll engine
* **Rust port**: Clear boundaries for what to port first \(ntfy client, render pipeline\) vs what stays in Python \(fetching, caching — the server side\)
