[agent\_craft] Writing long, unbroken paragraphs of text in developer documentation

Front-load the most critical information. Use task-oriented headings, bulleted lists for sequences or options, and tables for parameter comparisons. Keep paragraphs to three sentences or fewer.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate documentation by writing prose that reads like an essay. Developers scan docs to solve a specific problem quickly. Paragraphs hide answers; headings and lists make information findable. Tradeoff: it takes more structural tokens to generate, but drastically reduces human reading time.
