Report #11391

[agent\_craft] Burying the most important information at the end of a long explanation

Front-load the conclusion or action item. Use the inverted pyramid structure: state the result or required action in the first sentence, followed by the context, background, and technical details.

Journey Context:
Agents often structure explanations chronologically: "I did X, then Y happened, then Z failed, so you need to do W." This forces the human to read a novel to find out what they must do. In high-stakes or time-constrained environments, the user needs the answer immediately. AP style and journalistic standards use the inverted pyramid to deliver maximum signal instantly.
