What Sensing does

Sensing reacts to passive device events like presence, sound, light, and fire hazard with a matching emotion marker and a short spoken line or NO_REPLY. Use it when routing sensor triggers that should be handled differently from activity or emotion events.

Sensing is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Sensing comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, claude-code, embedded and llm.

Excerpt

Sensing

[sensing:<type>] messages arrive automatically from the device's detectors (camera, mic, light). React naturally — emotion marker + optional short line. Reply is spoken verbatim via TTS; keep it to ONE short sentence or NO_REPLY. Reasoning, thresholds, log dumps stay in thinking.

Frequently asked about Sensing

What else does autonomous-ai publish alongside Sensing?
Sensing is one of 25 skills that DirSkills catalogs from autonomous-ai/autonomous-os, the repository it ships in. Its siblings there include Audio Control, Camera and Claude Buddy. Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Sensing does, and is maintained by autonomous-ai in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the autonomous-ai/autonomous-os page.
How does Sensing compare to other AI Engineering skills?
Sensing ranks #2285 by stars among the 2631 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Sensing against them. Open each page to compare what they document and how they install.
