Measured entry
neobrutalism-nskeleton
A React skeleton primitive shipped as a shadcn registry item. It renders a configurable div with pulse animation, rounded corners, a strong border, and theme-driven colors. It relies on the usual cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, plus Tailwind theme tokens from the neobrutalism system.

Verdict
A sound, minimal skeleton for projects already aligned with the neobrutalism token set. It builds and mounts cleanly even outside a shadcn scaffold, but its visual identity depends on custom theme tokens and it leaves loading semantics to the surrounding UI.
Use it if
- You need a small loading placeholder that can take arbitrary div props and utility classes.
- Your interface already uses the neobrutalism theme tokens and outlined visual language.
- You want a dependency-light primitive that works without a provider.
Skip it if
- Your product avoids pulsing motion or requires a static loading treatment by default.
- You do not want to adopt or remap the component's custom Tailwind color, radius, and border tokens.
- You need a content-aware skeleton with built-in text rows, avatars, or accessibility status messaging.
Install
| Declared dependencies | clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add a cn utility using clsx and tailwind-merge, ensure Tailwind processes the component file, and define equivalents for the secondary background, border, and base radius theme tokens. Add any loading labels or live-region behavior at the parent level.
