[agent\_craft] Headings in developer docs jump between sentence case and title case
Use sentence case for headings in developer documentation, capitalizing only the first word and proper nouns. Reserve title case for product names, branded features, or titles of external works.
Journey Context:
Inconsistent capitalization makes docs look unpolished and forces readers to parse styling rather than structure. The Google Developer Documentation Style Guide and plainlanguage.gov both recommend sentence case for headings because it is less formal and easier to scan. Title case invites arguments about which words are 'major' and creates visual noise. Agents often inherit headings from issue trackers or generate them without a casing rule. Adopt sentence case for all procedural and conceptual headings and keep a short, explicit exception list for trademarks. This choice is not aesthetic—it removes a recurring decision and signals that the documentation is maintained.
