## Usage

Get this component from a [saved library export](/docs/export) or the [connected CLI](/docs/agents). The imports below refer to local files installed in your app.

Import `styles/components.css`, then `styles/theme.css` once. Wrap your app in `ThemeScope` from `components/ui/utils` so typography, focus and overlays share the theme. The [installation guide](/docs/export) covers runtime dependencies and React/Next.js setup.

```tsx
import { Skeleton } from './components/ui/skeleton';

<div style={{width:240,display:"grid",gap:12}}><Skeleton style={{height:20,width:"60%"}}/><Skeleton style={{height:80}}/></div>
```

## Design system

This component consumes your semantic colors, spacing, typography and shape tokens. Import the compiled styles and your theme once as described in [Export](/docs/export).

## Behavior and accessibility

- Provide meaningful labels for interactive controls.
- Connect action callbacks to your application logic.
- Verify keyboard navigation and contrast in your application.

Status: **experimental** during early access. Sample previews do not send emails, process payments or upload files to a service.

## Source and props

This is the exported source, using the same implementation as the editor.

```tsx
"use client";
import type { HTMLAttributes } from "react";
import { cx } from "./utils";
export function Skeleton({
  className,
  ...props
}: HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>) {
  return (
    <div
      {...props}
      aria-hidden="true"
      className={cx("cr-skeleton", className)}
    />
  );
}
```
