Report #26857

[agent\_craft] Sequential instructions are written as dense paragraphs instead of actionable steps

Convert sequential instructions into numbered lists. Use bullet lists for non-sequential options or examples.

Journey Context:
Agents generate paragraphs because they are trained on prose. But when a human is executing a procedure, they need to track their place. A numbered list allows them to complete a step, look back, and find the next step instantly. The tradeoff is that lists take up more vertical space, but the reduction in cognitive load and execution errors justifies it.
