Report #31180

[agent\_craft] Burying sequential instructions or multiple options in a paragraph

Use numbered lists for sequential steps and bulleted lists for non-sequential options. Keep list items parallel in grammatical structure.

Journey Context:
Humans scan text; they don't read linearly. A paragraph of 'First do X, then do Y, or you can do Z' forces the reader to parse the logic. Lists visually separate the logic. Parallel structure \(all starting with verbs, or all starting with nouns\) prevents cognitive stuttering.
