Paste into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor after filling in {{USER_STACK}}, {{USER_STYLING}} and {{USER_CONSTRAINTS}}. Neutral keeps the greys you see here; Match my project asks the model to map them onto your own colour tokens.

A switch with two valleys and a hill between them, like the spring inside a real one: the ball climbs slowly over the hump, then drops into the other valley and rocks there before it settles.

Accessibility
Keyboard and screen readers
A native checkbox with role="switch" inside a <label>, so Space toggles it and the visible text names it; :focus-visible on the input outlines the track, which is aria-hidden.
Reduced motion
The ball moves straight to its valley.
