Reasoning

ThinkingIndicator

Lightweight "model is working" affordance — distinct from the typing indicator.

Reasoning across documents…

pnpm add nyxis-ui

import { ThinkingIndicator } from 'nyxis-ui';

{
  isThinking && <ThinkingIndicator label="Reasoning across documents…" />;
}

<ThinkingIndicator> — model is working (extended thinking, tool dispatch, retrieval) and has not yet emitted any output.
<TypingIndicator> — model is streaming output but the next token hasn’t landed yet.

These are distinct cognitive states — using the same indicator for both makes the UI feel jittery.

Variant	Look
`shimmer` (default)	Text shimmers like a skeleton placeholder.
`pulse`	Icon pulses softly.
`orbit`	Spinner ring orbits around the icon.
