### RTL

Skeleton blocks are direction-neutral. Use logical layout utilities around them when spacing depends on direction.

<Preview>
<div dir="rtl" class="flex w-fit items-center gap-4">
  <div class="skeleton size-10 shrink-0 rounded-full"></div>
  <div class="grid gap-2">
    <div class="skeleton h-4 w-[150px]"></div>
    <div class="skeleton h-4 w-[100px]"></div>
  </div>
</div>
