TL;DR

This skill uses the bigarrow CLI to place a visible arrow and custom text label directly on a macOS screen. It is designed for scenarios where an AI needs to guide a user toward a specific button, input field, or menu item that requires manual interaction.

By providing clear visual cues outside the terminal, it streamlines time-critical tasks such as entering expiring codes or navigating payment pages where precise UI location is essential.

  • A Mac with the bigarrow CLI and big-arrow skill installed.
  • The target app's name.
  • The target's X,Y coordinates in global top-left logical points.
