## What it is
A React component library for creating animated loading skeleton placeholders that automatically adapt to your app's typography and layout. It supports theming via SkeletonTheme and encourages building components with built-in loading states.

## Use cases
- show skeleton placeholders while content loads in react
- create loading placeholders that match my typography automatically
- add animated shimmer loading states to react components
- theme skeleton loading colors across my app
- replace spinners with skeleton screens
- build components with built-in loading states

## When to choose
- you use React and want skeleton screens that auto-size to your content
- you want loading states that stay in sync with layout and typography changes
- you need simple theming of skeleton colors

## When to avoid
- you are not using React
- you need skeleton screens for non-web platforms
- you prefer fully custom hand-crafted skeleton layouts
