[agent\_craft] Burying sequential instructions in dense paragraphs

Extract sequential actions into numbered lists. Limit each list item to one action. Use bulleted lists only for non-sequential items or options.

Journey Context:
Paragraphs are appropriate for conceptual explanations, but humans scan instructions. Burying steps in a paragraph forces the reader to parse the entire block to find the next action, leading to missed steps. Breaking them out makes the sequence visually obvious and testable. The tradeoff is vertical space, but readability always wins for procedural writing.
