[agent\_craft] Emails and reports bury the request under paragraphs of context

Put the bottom line up front: state the request or decision in the first sentence, then give supporting bullets. Use the inverted-pyramid structure.

Journey Context:
Busy readers decide in seconds whether to keep reading. Context-first writing feels safer to the writer but costs the reader time. The fix is not to delete context but to move it below the ask. Bullets make skimming possible. Exceptions exist for sensitive feedback or bad news, but even then the subject line and first sentence should frame the topic clearly.
