Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

bigarrow is a macOS CLI tool that lets AI agents draw transient arrows, boxes, and text overlays on screen to guide humans through UI tasks without stealing focus or requiring permissions. It fills a real gap in human-AI interaction by turning terminal instructions into visual pointers, with thoughtful features like auto-dismissal and copy-to-clipboard.

Target audience: developers integrating AI agents with macOS workflows, AI agent users, and technical support staff
