Measured entry

neobrutalism-skeleton

skeletonbrutalism

A small React skeleton primitive shipped as a shadcn registry item. It renders a pulse-animated div with a thick border and neobrutalist theme tokens, accepts ordinary div props, and relies on Tailwind plus the local cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict

A sound, minimal primitive for teams already committed to this neobrutalist theme. It mounts cleanly on its own and is easy to compose, but most of its identity comes from project-specific Tailwind tokens, so it is less portable than its tiny source suggests.

Use it if

  • Your loading states already use the same neobrutalist border and color tokens.
  • You want a low-level placeholder that can be shaped through utility classes.
  • Your React app already has Tailwind and a compatible cn helper.

Skip it if

  • Your product uses a softer or borderless visual system that would make this placeholder feel out of place.
  • You need a content-aware skeleton with built-in card, table, or text layouts.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to recreate its theme utilities.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind, clsx, and tailwind-merge; create a cn helper; define the rounded, background, and border theme utilities used by the component; then replace the aliased utility import or configure the alias.
