How to point at the right browser tab out of many with Big Arrow on the Screen

Raise a Chrome window and point at one tab by its title.

Authorization notice. Big Arrow on the Screen is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA person with a crowded browser who must choose one specific tab, such as an agent handing back a page it opened.

The problemMany open tabs look alike, and a pointer aimed at a window hidden behind the terminal is not helpful.

The outcomebigarrow brings the Chrome window and the named tab to the front, then points at the tab with a sign.

What you need first

  • A Mac running macOS 14 or later
  • Homebrew to run `brew install franzenzenhofer/tap/bigarrow`
  • Claude Code or Codex if you want the agent skill
  • Accessibility permission for the app that starts bigarrow, only for --element and --app App:title targets

Steps

  1. Install the tool with brew install franzenzenhofer/tap/bigarrow.
  2. Run bigarrow start --app "Google Chrome:Sourdough" --element "Sourdough - Wikipedia" --role radiobutton --text "It's this tab, not the other 13" --from top --shape zigzag --color "#5856D6" --size L, replacing the tab title with yours. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Confirm the tab is selected and the sign points at it.
  4. Clear the arrow with bigarrow stop --all when the person has found the tab. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Use the bigarrow CLI from franzenzenhofer/big-arrow-on-the-screen to raise the Google Chrome tab titled "<tab title>" and point at it with the sign "<sign text>". Expected output: the tab is selected and the command exits with code 0. Verify the exit code and report the tab title that was selected.

Caveat. Tab matching with --app App:title needs Accessibility permission, and it is used here with Google Chrome as in the README example.
