The component, rendering

Real data, the shipped component. Switch the theme to check the claims the spec makes below.

Preview

The four-layer spec

Structural, matching the exact shape, position, and radii of the content it replaces. Slow breathe (opacity 0.6↔1, 1.6s) permitted; no shimmer sweep — a translating gradient across a full-page skeleton is large-surface paint animation and the clearest template tell there is.

A skeleton that doesn't match causes a jump when content lands, and that jump is worse than no skeleton at all.

Lifted verbatim from System & states. The doc and this page are the same paragraphs, so they cannot disagree.

A component is specified in one place, defined in another, and running in a third. All three, from here.

Elsewhere in the system

Where Skeleton sits in the rest of the system — the live section it renders in, the calculators that compute what it displays, and the ledger payloads it is fed from.

Components are copied into your repository and meant to be edited — rounding policy, fiscal calendar and compliance copy differ per company.

Told when System & states changes

Components are copied into your repo, so a fix here does not reach you on its own. One email when a component in this family changes in a way that needs a migration — and nothing when it does not.
