Skeleton

Pulsing placeholder lines for pending messages and loading panels.

Skeleton ships with a full API table, a copyable example, and accessibility notes.

Installation

Install the package once, then import Skeleton from its direct entry point or from the root.

bash

pnpm add @agent-ui/react

tsx

import { Skeleton } from "@agent-ui/react/skeleton";

Tailwind CSS v4 users: add @source "../node_modules/@agent-ui/react/src" to the global stylesheet so the library utilities are generated.

tsx

1import { Skeleton } from "@agent-ui/react";
