Report #26472

[agent\_craft] Burying the main conclusion in a long summary or log analysis

Use the BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\) pattern. State the most critical conclusion or required action in the first sentence, followed by supporting details or the condensed log.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump raw data or write a vague preamble before getting to the point. Humans scanning an agent's output need to know the impact immediately to decide if they need to read further. BLUF forces the agent to synthesize the \*meaning\* of the data first, saving human parsing time.

environment: summarization, log-analysis, reporting · tags: structure summarization bluf clarity communication · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/organize/
