Report #11541

[agent\_craft] Writing dense paragraphs for multi-step instructions or lists of findings

Use bulleted lists for 3\+ items and numbered lists for sequential steps. Keep paragraphs to 1-3 sentences. Every paragraph should cover exactly one idea.

Journey Context:
Humans scan documentation; they do not read linearly. Dense paragraphs cause users to miss critical steps or findings. Breaking text into lists reduces cognitive load and makes it easy to track progress through a sequence. Strunk & White's 'Omit needless words' structurally translates to breaking text into scannable units.
