loading-page-design

loading-page-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xyzbit/claude-plugins. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design workflow for screens and animations shown while an application loads or waits for content. It covers full-page loaders, progress bars, skeleton screens, spinners, and smaller in-page loading indicators.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design loading states for app startup, feeds, lists, data tables, form submissions, file transfers, and multi-step processes.
Why use it?
It helps users understand that work is in progress, what is being loaded, and sometimes how long they may wait. It also keeps the waiting interface lightweight and responsive.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

loading-page-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Loading Page Design Skill

Design beautiful, performant loading pages that provide excellent user experience while users wait for content to load.

Core Principles

1. Set Clear Expectations

Users should always know:

  • Something is happening
  • How long they might wait (if predictable)
  • What is being loaded

2. Keep It Engaging

  • Use smooth, purposeful animations
  • Show branded visual elements
  • Provide feedback through progress indicators

3. Performance First

  • Loading page itself must load fast
  • Use CSS animations over JavaScript where possible
  • Keep the loading UI lightweight

Loading Page Types

Full Page Loader

Covers the entire viewport during initial page load. Best for:

  • Critical path loading
  • App initialization
  • Heavy content pages

Skeleton Screen

Shows a wireframeplaceholder structure of content loading. Best for:

  • Feed/list content
  • Card-based layouts
  • Dynamic data tables

Inline Loader

Small indicator within existing content. Best for:

  • Button loading states
  • Form submissions
  • Section refreshes

Progress Bar

Shows percentage or steps complete. Best for:

  • File uploads/downloads
  • Multi-step processes
  • Known-duration operations

Animation Guidelines

Spinner Animations

/* Classic rotating spinner */
@keyframes spin {
  to { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}

/* Pulsing dots */
@keyframes pulse {
  0%, 100% { opacity: 0.4; }
  50% { opacity: 1; }
}

Skeleton/Shimmer Effect

@keyframes shimmer {
  0% { background-position: -200% 0; }
  100% { background-position: 200% 0; }
}

.skeleton {
  background: linear-gradient(
    90deg,
    #f0f0f0 25%,
    #e0e0e0 50%,
    #f0f0f0 75%
  );
  background-size: 200% 100%;
  animation: shimmer 1.5s infinite;
}

Progress Bar

@keyframes progress {
  0% { width: 0%; }
  100% { width: var(--progress, 100%); }
}

Design Patterns

Pattern 1: Minimal Dot Spinner

  • 3-4 dots in a row
  • Sequential pulse animation
  • Subtle, non-distracting
  • Use case: Inline loading, small spaces

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
