+
+**Make toggle logic so clear, it reads like plain English.**
+
+> *"What really matters is how well your code communicates to the people who are going to read it later."*
+> — Kent C. Dodds
+
+A React hooks library that standardizes toggle **verbs** and **states** — so your UI logic reads like spoken language.
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { open, toggle } from 'toggles'
+
+const { sidebar, modal } = useToggles()
+open(sidebar)                    // verb(noun) — reads like English
+sidebar.isOpen === true          // noun.state — clear, predictable
+toggle(modal)                    // universal toggle verb
+```
+
+## Why?
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Before & After</b></summary>
+
+**useState approach:**
+
+```jsx
+const [isFullscreenOpen, setIsFullscreenOpen] = useState(false)
+setIsFullscreenOpen(true)                    // open
+setIsFullscreenOpen(false)                   // close
+setIsFullscreenOpen(prev => !prev)           // toggle
+isFullscreenOpen && <Fullscreen />
+```
+
+**useToggles approach:**
+
+```jsx
+const { fullscreen } = useToggles()
+open(fullscreen)
+close(fullscreen)
+toggle(fullscreen)
+fullscreen.isOpen && <Fullscreen />
+```
+
+</details>
+
+- **Self-documenting** — `open(sidebar)` is immediately meaningful, no mental parsing required
+- **Consistent** — standardized verbs (`open`, `close`, `toggle`) and states (`isOpen`, `isClosed`). You only define nouns.
+- **Ship faster** — when someone says "open the sidebar," your code literally says `open(sidebar)`
+- **Simple & scalable** — define nouns, invoke verbs, read states. From one toggle to dozens.
+- **Tiny footprint** — ~1–2 KB gzipped
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+yarn add toggles
+```
+
+```bash
+npm i toggles
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { useToggle, open, close, toggle } from 'toggles'
+
+function App() {
+  const { modal, sidebar } = useToggles(false, true)
+  const darkMode = useToggle(false)
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <button onClick={() => open(modal)}>Open Modal</button>
+      <button onClick={() => toggle(sidebar)}>Toggle Sidebar</button>
+      <button onClick={() => toggle(darkMode)}>Toggle Dark Mode</button>
+
+      <div className={darkMode.isOn ? 'dark' : 'light'}>
+        {modal.isOpen && <Modal onClose={() => close(modal)} />}
+        {sidebar.isVisible && <Sidebar />}
+      </div>
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## The Concept: `verb(noun)` + `noun.state`
+
+Every UI toggle follows the same pattern:
+
+1. **`verb(noun)`** — the action you'd naturally speak — `open(sidebar)`, `check(checkbox)`
+2. **`noun.state`** — a boolean question — `sidebar.isOpen`, `checkbox.isChecked`
+
+Nouns are dynamically created via destructuring (an [autovivification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovivification) pattern) — define as many as you need on a single line:
+
+```jsx
+const { modal, sidebar, tooltip, dropdown } = useToggles()
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `useToggles(...initialValues)`
+
+Creates multiple toggles. Returns a proxy object — destructure to name your nouns.
+
+```jsx
+// All default to false
+const { modal, sidebar } = useToggles()
+
+// With initial values (mapped by destructuring order)
+const { checkbox, drawer, panel } = useToggles(true, false, true)
+```
+
+#### Namespaced (global) toggles
+
+Pass a string as the first argument to share state across components:
+
+```jsx
+// In any component — same namespace = shared state
+const { spellCheck } = useToggles('editor-settings', true)
+```
+
+### `useToggle(initialValue)`
+
+Convenience hook for a single toggle.
+
+```jsx
+const darkMode = useToggle(false)
+toggle(darkMode)
+darkMode.isOn // true
+```
+
+### Verbs
+
+Import individually or use the `verbs` object:
+
+```jsx
+import { open, close, toggle, show, hide } from 'toggles'
+// or
+import { verbs } from 'toggles'
+verbs.open(sidebar)
+```
+
+**All verb pairs:**
+
+| + Verb (on) | - Verb (off) | State (on / off) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `open` | `close` | `isOpen` / `isClosed` |
+| `show` | `hide` | `isShown`, `isVisible` / `isHidden` |
+| `turnOn` | `turnOff` | `isOn` / `isOff` |
+| `check` | `uncheck` | `isChecked` / `isUnchecked` |
+| `enable` | `disable` | `isEnabled` / `isDisabled` |
+| `expand` | `collapse` | `isExpanded` / `isCollapsed` |
+| `activate` | `deactivate` | `isActivated` / `isDeactivated` |
+| `start` | `end` | `hasStarted` / `hasEnded` |
+| `connect` | `disconnect` | `isConnected` / `isDisconnected` |
+| `focus` | `blur` | `isFocused` / `isBlurred` |
+| `mount` | `unmount` | `isMounted` |
+| `reveal` | `conceal` | `isRevealed` / `isConcealed` |
+| `display` | `dismiss` | — |
+| `lock` | `unlock` | `isLocked` / `isUnlocked` |
+| `subscribe` | `unsubscribe` | `isSubscribed` |
+| `toggle` | *(universal)* | flips current value |
+
+### Noun States
+
+Every noun exposes multiple boolean state properties — all derived from the same underlying value:
+
+```jsx
+const { modal } = useToggles(true)
+
+// All positive states → true
+modal.isOpen        // true
+modal.isVisible     // true
+modal.isOn          // true
+modal.isChecked     // true
+modal.isEnabled     // true
+modal.isExpanded    // true
+modal.isActive      // true
+
+// All negative states → false (inverse)
+modal.isClosed      // false
+modal.isHidden      // false
+modal.isOff         // false
+modal.isDisabled    // false
+modal.isCollapsed   // false
+```
+
+Use whichever state reads best in context. A modal uses `isOpen`, a checkbox uses `isChecked`, dark mode uses `isOn` — same underlying boolean, different semantic lens.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Modal
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { open, close } from 'toggles'
+
+function ConfirmDialog() {
+  const { confirmModal } = useToggles()
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <button onClick={() => open(confirmModal)}>Delete Item</button>
+
+      {confirmModal.isOpen && (
+        <Modal>
+          <p>Are you sure?</p>
+          <button onClick={() => close(confirmModal)}>Cancel</button>
+          <button onClick={handleDelete}>Delete</button>
+        </Modal>
+      )}
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Settings Panel
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { toggle } from 'toggles'
+
+function Settings() {
+  const { advanced, notifications, darkMode } = useToggles(false, true, false)
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Switch
+        checked={notifications.isChecked}
+        onChange={() => toggle(notifications)}
+      />
+      <Switch
+        checked={darkMode.isOn}
+        onChange={() => toggle(darkMode)}
+      />
+      {advanced.isVisible && <AdvancedSettings />}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Global State with Namespaces
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { toggle } from 'toggles'
+
+// Header component
+function Header() {
+  const { sidebar } = useToggles('app')
+  return <button onClick={() => toggle(sidebar)}>Menu</button>
+}
+
+// Layout component — shared state, no prop drilling
+function Layout() {
+  const { sidebar } = useToggles('app')
+  return (
+    <div className={sidebar.isOpen ? 'shifted' : ''}>
+      {sidebar.isVisible && <Sidebar />}
+      <main>...</main>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### With useEffect
+
+```jsx
+import useToggles, { open } from 'toggles'
+
+function DelayedOpen() {
+  const { settings } = useToggles(false)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const timer = setTimeout(() => open(settings), 2000)
+    return () => clearTimeout(timer)
+  }, [settings])
+
+  return <p>Settings: {settings.isOpen ? 'OPEN' : 'CLOSED'}</p>
+}
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- React 16.9+
+- Works with SSR (Next.js, Remix)
+- TypeScript supported
+- ~1–2 KB gzipped
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Code should be as human-readable as possible. `useToggles` reduces the cognitive overhead of toggle state by aligning it with natural language patterns — `open(sidebar)` instead of `setIsSidebarOpen(true)`.
