Shimmer Sweep
A light shimmer glides across the text with a slight horizontal drift.
Installation

| className | string | — | Tailwind / CSS class names. Forwarded to the host element. |
Usage notes
Pure spec animates opacity + slight x. For full shine overlay, layer a CSS gradient mask on top in the showcase implementation. For loading-state shimmer text, use skeleton-shimmer-text (SaaS category).
