shadcn.io is an independent project built on shadcn/ui
An icon, a title, and a muted subtitle on every trigger, with the chevron on the right. Documents starts open, and its subtitle reads Contracts, invoices and briefs.
Use it when people need a few words before they open a section. If they always need the body, use Tabs. In Solid, Ark UI does not remember the open section.

</Accordion>FAQ
Where do the category icons come from?
Each item stores FileTextIcon, FolderIcon, SettingsIcon or UsersIcon. The trigger renders it at size-4 with text-muted-foreground, shrink-0 and aria-hidden, in a gap-3 row.
How is the subtitle marked up?
The title and subtitle stack in flex flex-col items-start text-start beside the icon. The subtitle is text-sm text-muted-foreground. Documents uses Contracts, invoices and briefs.
Why is the answer indented?
ps-7 on AccordionContent matches the 16px icon plus the 12px gap-3, so the answer lines up under the title.
Why does Documents start open?
defaultValue={["documents"]} opens Documents on first render. The string matches that item's value.
