Report #103656

[agent\_craft] Writing one wall-of-text paragraph that mixes context, action, and question in a request

Structure async requests as: Context \(1 line\) → Ask \(bold/imperative\) → Details \(bullets\) → Deadline/next step. Each block gets its own line or bullet.

Journey Context:
Dense paragraphs force the reader to parse intent before they can act. Scannable structure respects that the recipient is probably triaging multiple threads. The Google dev-docs style guide and AP style both emphasize short paragraphs and lists for readability. Common mistake: burying the ask in the middle or at the end. Another mistake: over-formatting—every heading and bullet must map to a distinct piece of information, otherwise structure becomes noise.
