+# Detection Skill Protocol
+
+Communication protocol for DeepCamera detection skills integrated with SharpAI Aegis.
+
+## Transport
+
+- **stdin** (Aegis → Skill): frame events and commands
+- **stdout** (Skill → Aegis): detection results, ready/error events
+- **stderr**: logging only — ignored by Aegis data parser
+
+Format: **JSON Lines** (one JSON object per line, newline-delimited).
+
+## Events
+
+### Ready (Skill → Aegis)
+
+Emitted after model loads successfully. `fps` reflects the skill's configured processing rate. `available_sizes` lists the model variants the skill supports.
+
+```jsonl
+{"event": "ready", "model": "yolo2026n", "device": "mps", "classes": 80, "fps": 5, "available_sizes": ["nano", "small", "medium", "large"]}
+```
+
+### Frame (Aegis → Skill)
+
+Instruction to analyze a specific frame. `frame_id` is an incrementing integer used to correlate request/response.
+
+```jsonl
+{"event": "frame", "frame_id": 42, "camera_id": "front_door", "timestamp": "2026-03-01T14:30:00Z", "frame_path": "/tmp/aegis_detection/frame_front_door.jpg", "width": 1920, "height": 1080}
+```
+
+### Detections (Skill → Aegis)
+
+Results of frame analysis. Must echo the same `frame_id` received in the frame event.
+
+```jsonl
+{"event": "detections", "frame_id": 42, "camera_id": "front_door", "timestamp": "2026-03-01T14:30:00Z", "objects": [
+  {"class": "person", "confidence": 0.92, "bbox": [100, 50, 300, 400]},
+  {"class": "car",    "confidence": 0.87, "bbox": [500, 200, 900, 500]}
+]}
+```
+
+### Error (Skill → Aegis)
+
+Indicates a processing error. `retriable: true` means Aegis can send the next frame.
+
+```jsonl
+{"event": "error", "frame_id": 42, "message": "Inference error: ...", "retriable": true}
+```
+
+### Stop (Aegis → Skill)
+
+Graceful shutdown command.
+
+```jsonl
+{"command": "stop"}
+```
+
+## Data Formats
+
+### Bounding Boxes
+
+**Format**: `[x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max]` — pixel coordinates (xyxy).
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `x_min` | int | Left edge (pixels) |
+| `y_min` | int | Top edge (pixels) |
+| `x_max` | int | Right edge (pixels) |
+| `y_max` | int | Bottom edge (pixels) |
+
+Coordinates are in the original image space (not normalized).
+
+### Timestamps
+
+ISO 8601 format: `2026-03-01T14:30:00Z`
+
+### Frame Transfer
+
+Frames are written to `/tmp/aegis_detection/frame_{camera_id}.jpg` as JPEG files with recycled per-camera filenames (overwritten each cycle). The `frame_path` in the frame event is the absolute path to the JPEG file.
+
+## FPS Presets
+
+| Preset | FPS | Use Case |
+|--------|-----|----------|
+| Ultra Low | 0.2 | Battery saver |
+| Low | 0.5 | Passive surveillance |
+| Normal | 1 | Standard monitoring |
+| Active | 3 | Active area monitoring |
+| High | 5 | Security-critical zones |
+| Real-time | 15 | Live tracking |
+
+## Backpressure
+
+The protocol is **request-response**: Aegis sends one frame, waits for the detection result, then sends the next. This provides natural backpressure — if the skill is slow, Aegis automatically drops frames (always uses the latest available frame).

 It leverages Yolov7 as person detector, FastReID for person feature extraction, Milvus the local vector database for self-supervised learning to identify unseen persons, Labelstudio to host images locally and for further usage such as labeling data and training your own classifier. It also integrates with Home-Assistant to empower smart home with AI technology.
