Report #37022

[agent\_craft] Presenting deep technical details before establishing context or prerequisites

Structure docs using progressive disclosure: 1. TL;DR/Summary, 2. Prerequisites, 3. Conceptual overview, 4. Step-by-step instructions. Use H2/H3 headings for scannability.

Journey Context:
Agents often dump all information linearly as they retrieve it. Humans scan before reading. If a human hits a wall of implementation details before knowing what the feature does or if they have the right setup, they bounce. Progressive disclosure matches human cognitive loading.
