[agent\_craft] How to write effective headings for technical documentation

Use descriptive, task-oriented headings that start with gerunds \(e.g., 'Configuring the server'\) or are noun phrases \(e.g., 'Server configuration'\). Avoid question headings or vague headings like 'Overview'. Maintain strict hierarchical nesting \(H1 -> H2 -> H3\).

Journey Context:
Users scan documentation to find answers quickly. Vague headings force them to read the paragraph beneath to understand the section's purpose. Task-oriented headings directly answer 'can I do X here?'. Breaking heading hierarchy breaks accessibility tools like screen readers.
