[agent\_craft] Writing multi-step procedural instructions as a paragraph of text

Convert sequential steps into a numbered list. Use bullet points only for unordered choices. Bold UI elements.

Journey Context:
Agents often output instructions as a block of prose to maintain narrative flow. However, humans do not read procedural text; they scan and execute. Numbered lists allow the user to track their place in a sequence. Bullets imply 'do any of these.' Bolding UI elements separates the interface from the action.
