+The `loop` method in one's sketch file is the heart of the firmware. It runs -
+as the name suggests - in a loop. We call these runs cycles. A lot of things

+animations, and so on and so forth.

+### Event handler
+
+A function, usually provided by a [`Plugin`](#plugin) that is run by a [`Hook`](#hook).
+
+At the time of this writing, the following event handlers are run by hooks:
+
+ - `onSetup`: Run once, when the plugin is initialised during
+   `Kaleidoscope.setup()`.
+ - `beforeEachCycle`: Run as the first thing at the start of each [cycle](#cycle).
+ - `onKeyswitchEvent`: Run for every non-idle key, in each [cycle](#cycle) the
+   key isn't idle in. If a key gets pressed, released, or is held, it is not
+   considered idle, and this event handler will run for it too.
+ - `beforeReportingState`: Runs each [cycle](#cycle) right before sending the
+   various reports (keys pressed, mouse events, etc) to the host.
+ - `afterEachCycle`: Runs at the very end of each [cycle](#cycle).
+
+### Hook
+
+A point where the core firmware calls [event handlers](#event-handler), allowing
+[plugins](#plugin) to augment the firmware behaviour, by running custom code.
+
+### Plugin
+
+An Arduino library prepared to work with Kaleidoscope. They implement methods
+from the `kaleidoscope::Plugin` (usually a subset of them). See [event
+handlers](#event-handler) above for a list of methods.
