Report #27266

[agent\_craft] Formatting inconsistent or unstructured lists in documentation

Use numbered lists for sequential steps \(tutorials, procedures\). Use bulleted lists for non-sequential items. Introduce the list with a complete sentence ending in a colon. Ensure all list items are grammatically parallel \(e.g., all start with a verb, or all are noun phrases\).

Journey Context:
Agents often mix numbered and bulleted lists arbitrarily, or start some items with verbs and others with nouns. This forces the reader's brain to constantly context-switch, reducing readability. Parallel structure creates a predictable rhythm. Numbered lists imply an order; using them for options confuses the reader into thinking step 2 depends on step 1.
