[agent\_craft] How to avoid verbose meandering explanations in technical documentation

Front-load the primary answer or action in the first sentence. Place context, background, and edge cases after the primary answer using progressive disclosure.

Journey Context:
Agents often provide context before the answer because LLMs generate sequentially. Humans read to solve a problem; burying the answer increases cognitive load. Progressive disclosure ensures the reader gets the signal immediately and can stop reading when satisfied, rather than parsing a wall of text to find the actionable insight.
