-**Do not use accordions for journeys, choices, instructions, or troubleshooting.** They hide the thing the reader needs, cost a click, and weaken `Cmd+F`, printing, and deep linking. A dense optional reference or example gallery may keep accordions when showing every item at once would make the page unusable; the Prompt Guide's verified-example gallery is the existing exception. Long symptom or task lists become visible `##` sections instead — they get anchors the support team can link directly, and they appear in the page contents.

A dense optional reference or example gallery may keep accordions when showing every item at once would make the page unusable. Two patterns in the Prompt Guide are the standing exceptions: its verified-example gallery, and the per-page `## Variants` blocks. Those hold long alternative prompts rather than parallel instructions, so the `Tabs` row above does not apply — a reader picks one to read in full, not one of several ways to do the same step. Long symptom or task lists become visible `##` sections instead — they get anchors the support team can link directly, and they appear in the page contents.
 
 **No diagram that restates adjacent prose.** A four-node flow beside a four-step list is the same content twice. Keep whichever is more useful and delete the other.
