Spinners, skeletons and staggered reveals that manage wait times. Use when designing loading states, async data or the feel of a slow interface.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Loading States and Perceived Performance Users don't mind waiting as much if they understand *what* they are waiting for and *how much* progress is being made. Perceived performance is the design work of making a system feel faster than it actually is. --- ## Choosing the Right Loading State | Wait Duration | Best Pattern | Use for | |---|---|---| | **Short (< 1s)** | **Inline Spinner / Loader** | Button actions, small updates, quick data fetches | | **Medium (1s – 3s)** | **Skeleton Screen** | Cards, lists, dashboards, profile pages | | **Long (> 3s)** | **Determinate Progress Bar** | File uploads, complex exports, heavy processing | | **Full Page** | **Staggered Entry / Animated Sections** | Initial app load, hero sections, immersive transitions | --- ## Simple Cases: Spinners and Loaders Use spinners for small, contained actions where the layout doesn't change significantly. - **Button Spinners:** Replace button text or sit alongside it. The button should enter a `disabled` state to prevent double-submissions. - **Micro-Loaders:** A small 16–24px circle for inline updates (e.g., saving a single field). …

How to install
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/loading-states-and-perceived-performance@sha256:a0756e119045b4cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.b05848a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
