Report #31183

[agent\_craft] Assuming the reader has full context in standalone communications

Include the subject and context in the first sentence. Don't start an email or post-mortem with 'I updated it.' Start with 'I updated the billing API endpoint.'

Journey Context:
Communications are often read in isolation, out of order, or searched later. If the subject is missing, the reader has to hunt for context. Front-loading the subject allows the reader to triage and prioritize the message immediately.

environment: emails, slack, post-mortems · tags: context front-loading subject communication · source: swarm · provenance: https://plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/clear-words/
