Content Skeleton

A loading placeholder that mirrors the metrics of the content to come — same line heights, same gaps — so the page does not jump when the data arrives.

# Install and place "skeleton-001" (Content Skeleton) from VibeUI

## 1. Install first — do not skip, do not recreate
Run this exact command before writing any code:
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/skeleton-001.json

Registry item: https://vibeui.ru/r/skeleton-001.json
Installs to: components/vibeui/skeleton-001.tsx (the exact path follows this project's components.json aliases).
npm dependencies: none.
Registry dependencies: none.

Install it from the registry. Do not recreate it from the description,
do not substitute a similar component from another library, and do not
rewrite it to match the project's existing style.

## 2. What it is
A loading placeholder that mirrors the metrics of the content to come — same line heights, same gaps — so the page does not jump when the data arrives.

A loading placeholder in three shapes: a paragraph, an avatar row and a block for an image. Heights and gaps mirror the content that will replace it, and the last line is shorter so the placeholder reads as text. The shimmer rides a gradient and goes away entirely under prefers-reduced-motion. Zero dependencies, one file, its own palette.

## 3. How to use it
import { Skeleton001 } from "@/components/vibeui/skeleton-001"

Read the installed file for the full prop list.

## 4. Where to place it
This is a small inline component. Put it exactly where the user asked,
inside the existing markup. Do not create a new page, section or
wrapper for it. If a similar control already sits in that spot,
replace it instead of adding a second one.

Placement: ___
(The user fills this line in. If it is still blank, ask where to put it
instead of guessing.)

## 5. Keep exactly as installed
- the local --vibeui-skeleton-001-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens (bg-muted, animate-pulse and the like)
- matching the metrics of the real content: the line height and gaps are the whole point, otherwise the page jumps on load
- the shortened last line: without it the paragraph placeholder looks like a table
- the shimmer through background-position on a 200% gradient — a separate moving layer makes the browser repaint more
- role="status", aria-busy and the label: without them the loading state does not exist for a screen reader
- the prefers-reduced-motion rule that kills the shimmer and leaves a flat fill
- the <style> block inside the component — it holds the palette, the shapes and the animation

## 6. You may change
- shape: text for a paragraph, avatar for a list row, block for an image or a map
- lines — how many rows the text shape draws
- label — what is loading; a screen reader announces this text
- width and outer spacing through className: by default it fills its parent

## 7. Rules
- Do not leave a skeleton as the only answer for more than a couple of seconds: long operations need progress or an explanation.
- Do not flash a skeleton on fast requests — a 100 ms flicker is worse than empty space.
- Keep the row count close to the real content: eight rows in front of a two-line paragraph reads as a bug.
- Do not lift the CSS variables into globals.css: the component has to stay a single file.

## 8. Verify
- it renders with no console errors;
- it looks like the preview on the VibeUI page you copied this from;
- if it does not, you changed something listed in section 5 — put it back.

For developers

npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/skeleton-001.json

https://vibeui.ru/r/skeleton-001.json

Компонент самодостаточен: один файл, без зависимостей, собственная палитра в локальных переменных --vibeui-skeleton-001-*. Блик — движение background-position у градиента шириной 200%, а не отдельный слой: перерисовывается только фон. Три формы (text, avatar, block) переключаются data-атрибутом. Контейнер объявлен как role="status" с aria-busy и подписью, поэтому скринридер сообщает о загрузке, а не молчит.

Component source

The same file your agent installs. Here in case you would rather copy it by hand.

import type { ComponentPropsWithoutRef, CSSProperties } from "react"

export type Skeleton001Shape = "text" | "avatar" | "block"

export type Skeleton001Props = ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"div"> & {
  shape?: Skeleton001Shape
  /** Сколько строк рисовать в форме text. Последняя всегда короче. */
  lines?: number
  /** Подпись для скринридера: что именно грузится. */
  label?: string
}

// Идея компонента: заглушка повторяет метрику будущего текста, а не рисует
// серые прямоугольники наугад. Высота строки и промежутки те же, что у
// абзаца, поэтому при появлении данных страница не прыгает.
