Skeleton
Loading-state placeholder. Provides visual feedback while content is fetching and preserves the layout so the page doesn't jump when data lands.
The component is just a class-customizable pulsing block — sizes, shapes, and corner radius come from the Tailwind utility classes you pass in.

Use full-width skeletons of varying widths for paragraph placeholders so the result reads as text rather than a solid block.
