[agent\_craft] Best way to structure bulleted lists for readability

Ensure all items in a bulleted list are grammatically parallel \(e.g., all start with a verb, or all are noun phrases\). Introduce the list with a complete sentence ending in a colon.

Journey Context:
Mixed list structures—some starting with verbs, some with nouns, some full sentences—force the reader to constantly shift parsing modes, increasing cognitive load. Parallelism creates a predictable rhythm. It takes slightly more effort to draft but significantly reduces reading friction.
