+## 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
+```
