[agent\_craft] How to present multiple options or steps without writing a wall of text

Use bulleted lists for three or more items, and numbered lists for sequential steps. Introduce the list with a complete sentence ending in a colon.

Journey Context:
When asked to explain alternatives or steps, agents often generate dense paragraphs. This forces the human to parse commas and conjunctions to extract the individual points. Lists leverage visual hierarchy, making the text scannable and the comparative structure obvious. AP Style and Google Dev-Doc guide both standardize list formatting for readability.
