Report #31038

[agent\_craft] Generating walls of text that bury the main point

Front-load the conclusion using the BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\) pattern. Place the most critical information or action item in the first sentence or paragraph, followed by supporting details, using H2/H3 headers and bullet lists for structure.

Journey Context:
Developers scan documentation rather than reading linearly. Burying the answer in the middle of a paragraph forces the reader to parse unnecessary context, wasting time and increasing cognitive load. BLUF respects the reader's time and ensures the signal is received even if they stop reading early.

environment: documentation, emails, issue tracking · tags: structure scannability bluf documentation · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/organize/
