About Agent Thinking

Collapsible thinking indicator with a shimmering label, live elapsed timer and reasoning steps that tick off one by one before settling to "Thought for Ns".

Agent Thinking is a free animated component for React, built on shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS with motion animations that respect reduced-motion settings. It ships as 101 lines of TypeScript you own: every piece of copy is a prop with a sensible default, so you can drop it in and replace the content without touching the layout.
