Report #4082

[agent\_craft] Writing deeply nested, complex conditional sentences for instructions

Break complex conditions into a bulleted list of prerequisites, or use a table. If a sentence requires more than two commas or and/if conjunctions, rewrite it.

Journey Context:
Cognitive load increases with sentence complexity. Nested conditions force the reader to hold multiple states in working memory. Prerequisites lists or tables offload this memory burden and make the logic scannable.
