loading-shimmer

Skeleton placeholders with a soft sweeping shimmer while content loads. Use to fill space for cards/lists/profiles that are still loading and make the wait feel shorter. Honors prefers-reduced-motion (static skeleton). Only show while real content is loading — never as decoration.

# loading-shimmer

Skeleton placeholders with a soft sweeping highlight. Part of
[motion-anything](https://github.com/nexu-io/motion-anything); obeys `MOTION-SPEC.md`.

## When to use it
- Placeholders for content still loading (cards, lists, profiles, media). Improves perceived performance.

## When NOT to use it (restraint)
- Loads under ~300ms (a skeleton flash is worse than nothing). Never as pure decoration.

## How to apply
1. Copy `loading-shimmer.css` and link it.
2. Add `data-skeleton` to placeholder blocks (give each a width/height).
