  <Skeleton class="h-4 w-3/4" />
</div>

Example

---
import { Skeleton } from "@/components/ui/skeleton"
---

<div class="w-full max-w-sm rounded-lg border p-4">
  <div class="flex items-center gap-3">
    <Skeleton class="size-10 rounded-full" />
    <div class="flex flex-1 flex-col gap-2">
      <Skeleton class="h-4 w-32" />
      <Skeleton class="h-3 w-24" />
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Notes

Match the approximate size of the final content to reduce layout shift.
Use Skeleton for loading states, not empty states. For no-data UI, use Empty.
