Layout-stable skeleton placeholder
Reimplements skeleton placeholders with explicit reserved media and copy slots so shimmer improves perceived performance without shifting layout when real content arrives.

Editorial summary card
Article Rail
Article Rail reserves a fixed card frame before content appears, keeping the thumbnail, title, and metadata rows in place while the shimmer state hints at incoming copy.
Skeleton slots: thumbnail, eyebrow, title, and metadata slots.
Dashboard insight card
Signal Analytics Board
Signal Analytics Board locks a chart frame and metric band first, so incoming dashboard data can replace placeholders without pushing nearby UI or creating CLS.
Skeleton slots: metric stripe, chart frame, and footer chips.
Avatar + bio layout
Team Profile Dock
Team Profile Dock pre-allocates avatar, identity, and bio heights so loading people cards stay aligned even when the final text length varies across team members.
Skeleton slots: avatar circle, identity lines, and action row.
