oversized-cursor

A visual technique for using an extra-large macOS-style pointer as a visible part of a launch video. The pointer guides attention and clicks to start changes on screen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a video scene includes a cursor, pointer-led action, click, typing sequence, morph, or transition. It also helps restart attention when a scene feels stale.
Why use it?
It keeps otherwise static scenes moving and makes transitions feel caused by an action. Its large size also keeps it visible in a video.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

oversized-cursor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Oversized Cursor — the eye-carrier

A deliberately oversized macOS-style pointer that travels the frame as a visible protagonist: it enters from off-screen, walks the viewer's eye to the next point of interest, clicks to cause the next thing that happens, and leaves. Production-proven across multiple launch films.

Why it exists. Big cursor movement is one of the cheapest high-yield motion sources in a launch video: one element, transform-only tweens, and it (1) brings the eye across the screen on scenes that would otherwise read as dead, (2) gives causal ignition to morphs/transitions ("the click did that"), and (3) segments the eye out of a stale state when kicking off a new scene or a complex animation sequence. Bigger is better — an actual-size cursor disappears at video scale.

Size & look (house convention)

  • Full-frame scenes: 7cqw (≈134px at 1920). In-mock / small-frame variants: 4.6–5.5cqw. Never smaller.
  • One SVG arrow geometry everywhere. Two proven fills — white body + black stroke, or black body (#1c1c1c) + white stroke (1.4px). Pick per scene contrast, keep it constant per film.
  • Brand-motif cursors (the power play). The macOS arrow is the DEFAULT, not a mandate. When the subject brand has a recognizable cursor identity — a collaborative design tool's colored multiplayer arrow with a name tag (Figma-style), a creative suite's precision crosshair, a distinctive product pointer — use THAT cursor instead: instantly legible brand language for anyone who knows the product. Same laws apply unchanged (oversized scale, physical entry/exit, tip-targeting, click-ignition), and a name-tag variant travels as one rigid unit (tag trailing the arrow). Reach for it only when the motif is genuinely referenceable; a cursor nobody recognizes is just a weird arrow — default back to macOS.
  • filter: drop-shadow(0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.3)), pointer-events: none, z-index above all scene content, will-change: transform.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
