Report #100315

[agent\_craft] Burying the main point at the end

State the most important information first, then support it with details. In a summary or status update, lead with the conclusion or action needed, not the chronological narrative.

Journey Context:
Agents often write in narrative order because that mirrors how they reasoned through a problem. Human readers, especially busy ones, need the bottom line up front. The inverted pyramid is a journalism pattern adopted by plainlanguage.gov as "put the most important information first." This respects the reader's time and lets them stop reading once they have what they need.
