Skeleton Loading Shimmer Effect (Pure CSS)

A pure CSS skeleton loading placeholder with a smooth shimmer animation - no JavaScript required. Drop it in while your real content is still loading (avatars, titles, text lines) for a much better perceived-performance feel than a blank screen or a spinner. Includes a prefers-reduced-motion fallback for accessibility.
