Report #12300

[agent\_craft] Writing long paragraphs of sequential steps or options instead of lists

Convert any sequence of 3 or more items or steps into a bulleted or numbered list. Use numbered lists for sequential steps, bulleted lists for unordered options.

Journey Context:
Humans scan documentation rather than reading word-for-word. Dense paragraphs hide critical steps and increase the chance of missing an action item. Lists create visual whitespace and parallel structure, drastically reducing cognitive load and error rates in procedural execution.
