Toggles Take Immediate Effect

MUST

MUST: Toggles apply their change immediately — never pair a toggle with a separate Save/confirm step. If the action needs confirmation, use a checkbox + submit button instead.

Toggles should immediately take effect without requiring a confirmation or save button

Why it matters

Toggle switches communicate instant on/off state. Requiring a separate save button breaks this mental model and adds unnecessary friction. If a toggle needs confirmation due to destructive consequences, use a different control pattern like a checkbox with a submit button.

The rules come from other people's skills and guidelines — Vercel, Rauno Freiberg, @Ibelick, impeccable, Emil Kowalski, Tailwind, RAMS — each one credited on the Sources page. The work here is extraction and wiring: every rule is pulled into one corpus, given a good and a bad example you can operate, a MUST/SHOULD/NEVER rule an agent can paste, and a link back to where it came from.
