When to use it

Content loading states for cards, feeds, or dashboards where layout should be hinted before data arrives.

When not to

Contexts requiring actual progress indication (use a progress bar); light-color backgrounds without restyling CSS vars.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change accent to taupe by setting --pg05-accent to #857C74 and updating the shimmer highlight rgba values from 220,229,234 to 133,124,116. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • accent color (--pg05-accent)
  • shimmer speed (animation-duration: 1.7s)
  • shimmer delay offsets (.pg05-d1 through .pg05-d6)
  • card background gradient
  • bone block colors (--pg05-bone, --pg05-bone2)
  • breathe pulse cycle (3.4s)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper with visibilitychange pause
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • role=progressbar + aria-busy semantic
  • will-change:transform on .pg05-sheen
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • Shimmer is decorative; no real loading state wired to data
