Abstract Biomimetic electronic skins (e‐skins) are widely used in wearables, smart prosthesis and soft robotics. However, multimodal e‐skins, especially those based on hydrogels, face multiple challenges for practical applications, involving multi‐sensing signal mutual interference, low breathability stretchability. Here, a breathable stretchable e‐skin with multilayer film microstructure is developed to achieve self‐calibrated sensing of any two three stimuli: strain, temperature, humidity, minimal crosstalk. Hydrogel fibers different shapes designed strain temperature modules, the hydrogel as humidity module. The exhibits impressive performance, including detection limit (0.03%), linearity (R 2 = 0.990), high‐temperature sensitivity (1.77%/°C), wide range (33–98% RH). Interestingly, due directional anisotropy shaped fibers, realizes directions. By introducing porous elastomer encapsulation membranes, wearing comfort attained, while high stretchability (100% strain) maintained. Furthermore, personalized human‐machine interaction system created by integrating wireless circuit realize real‐time gesture recognition, physiological signals monitoring, prosthesis.
