Report #10263

[agent\_craft] Dense paragraphs make documentation or instructions hard to scan

Break text into short paragraphs \(1-3 sentences\). Use bulleted lists for 3\+ items, and numbered lists for sequential steps.

Journey Context:
Humans scan technical docs rather than reading linearly. Dense paragraphs cause cognitive overload and hide critical steps. Lists create visual whitespace, enforce parallel structure, and allow a human to instantly verify they completed a step.
