[agent\_craft] Mixing grammatical structures in a bulleted list

Ensure every item in a list follows the same grammatical pattern. For procedural steps, start every item with an imperative verb \(e.g., 'Open the file,' 'Update the config,' 'Restart the server'\).

Journey Context:
Agents generate lists by iterating over distinct facts, often resulting in syntactic mashups \('To open the file', 'Configuration update', 'Restarting'\). This forces the reader's brain to constantly shift parsing modes. Google Developer Documentation Style Guide mandates parallel structure because it dramatically improves scannability and predictability. Consistency reduces cognitive load.
