humanMouse

Skill63 starsChanged yesterdayMITView on GitHub

Make the cursor move like the owner's hand, measured not guessed. Record their mouse with recordMouse.py, fit humanMouse.py to the numbers, run a session and measure ours with the same analyser. Use when motion "looks wrong", when a page needs the cursor to behave differently, or when the owner says "record my mouse", "the mouse moves weird", "too slow", "it never stops".

humanMouse

The cursor is fitted to a recording of the owner's own hand, and every change is checked with the same analyser that measured them.

Hard boundaries

  1. Measured, not guessed. A motion change comes from a number in a recording (theirs or ours), never from how it "should" look.
  2. One module drives every session (python/human/humanMouse.py): the async inspect/flow sessions (idle loop, preempted by any step) and the sync publish/connect/profile sessions (look() before a step, human_click). Nothing clicks with Playwright's own .click() in an account session.
  3. humanize stays on, capped per hop (own_trajectory=True). Nothing is injected into the page.
  4. Run it live (rule 26), through Monitor.

The loop

# 1. their hand: open a page with our cursor still, record 60 s, analyse
log inspect start --account <a> --url <url> --noIdleMouse --proxyMs 12000
python python/human/recordMouse.py 60                 # "GO": the owner uses the window; prints the summary
#   -> ~/.logCli/mouse/<time>.json and .analysis.json

# 2. ours: a session with the idle loop, a long wait step, the same analyser
log inspect start --account <a> --url <url> --now --proxyMs 12000
log inspect do wait 60
python python/human/recordMouse.py --analyze ~/.logCli/runs/inspect/<run>/steps/02_wait60s/mouseSamples.json

Compare: moves, move ms, px per 100 ms, straightness, side px, overshoot share, where the speed peaks, stillness between moves, share still. Change the constants in humanMouse.py (duration_for, reach, loops, rest_for, look_for) toward their numbers, re-measure. The owner's 2026-10-19 recording: 15 moves/60 s, 0.42-0.45 s for 400-800 px, speed peak at 0.34 of the move, 7/15 overshoot, median pause 0.2 s, still 14-25 %.

What the recordings taught

  • Each page.mouse.move() costs ~60 ms of round trip however small the hop; with humanize's default curve on top it was 100-530 ms. Draw the trajectory ourselves at ~15 Hz and keep humanize's per-hop cap at 20 ms.
  • A chain of small moves stutters: each starts and stops. One Bezier walked with one velocity profile is a gesture.
