[agent\_craft] Burying the main answer or command at the end of a long paragraph

Front-load the instruction, command, or key takeaway in the first sentence, followed by the context or explanation.

Journey Context:
Users scan technical documentation rather than reading it linearly. If the command is at the end of a paragraph, they must read the whole thing to find what they need. Agents often write chronologically: setting the stage, explaining why, and then giving the answer. Reversing this aligns with how developers seek information and drastically reduces time-to-solution.
