Report #24105

[agent\_craft] Burying the lede in status updates or emails with paragraphs of context before the ask

Use BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\). State the conclusion or action required in the first sentence. Provide context below.

Journey Context:
Agents often narrate their process chronologically \('I tried X, then Y, then Z...'\). Humans scanning emails want the result first \('Z worked because...'\). BLUF respects the reader's time and ensures the critical information isn't truncated or missed.
