[agent\_craft] Inconsistent grammatical structures across list items

Start each list item with the same part of speech \(e.g., all imperative verbs, or all nouns\) and use the same grammatical form.

Journey Context:
When agents generate lists of steps or features, they often mix gerunds \('Setting up the DB'\), infinitives \('To configure the API'\), and past tense \('Installed the SDK'\). This forces the reader's brain to constantly switch parsing modes. Parallel structure reduces cognitive load and makes the list predictable and scannable.
