Measure whether the chat jumps while a turn runs by sampling the Working line's position over CDP and counting upward moves. Use when changing step rows, live status lines, folding, or anything that can shrink content during a run.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Measure chat flicker
Content growing below is normal. Content shrinking during a run (a live line removed, a group closing) moves everything up, and that reads as flicker. This counts those upward moves.
```bash
export CDP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<cdp port>
M=.opencode/skills/measure-chat-flicker/scripts/flicker.mjs
node .opencode/skills/drive-desktop-cdp/scripts/cdp.mjs new-session
node $M arm
node .opencode/skills/reproduce-chat-states/scripts/repro.mjs sequential-commands
node .opencode/skills/drive-desktop-cdp/scripts/cdp.mjs wait-idle
node $M report # { upwardJumps, downwardMoves, samples }
```
Note: `repro.mjs` opens its own new session, so arm after it if you need the arm to survive the navigation, or run `send` directly.
## Reading the result
- `upwardJumps` during the run should be 0. One at the very start (the first step replacing "Starting…") is acceptable.
- Reference: before the live step moved onto the group's own line, five sequential commands gave 6 upward jumps of about 22px in 27s; after, 1.
- Run the same prompt before and after a change and compare. Keep the window size fixed between runs.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add different-ai/openwork/measure-chat-flicker@sha256:7c7dafee3adadcd7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.739dae1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
