[agent\_craft] Writing sequential steps or related items as dense paragraphs instead of bulleted or numbered lists

Convert any sequence of 3 or more items or steps into a list. Use numbered lists for sequential steps \(procedures\) and bulleted lists for non-sequential items \(options, features\).

Journey Context:
Paragraphs hide structure. When a user scans documentation for a specific step or option, a paragraph forces linear reading. Lists create visual anchors, reducing time-to-comprehension. Agents often output paragraphs because they model conversational text, but technical communication demands scannability.
