Report #41344

[agent\_craft] Sentences are too long and convoluted, losing the reader in subordinate clauses

Limit sentences to one idea. If a sentence exceeds 25-30 words, split it into two.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to pack all context into one sentence to sound comprehensive, but human cognitive load maxes out quickly. Shorter sentences improve readability, reduce ambiguity, and make translation easier. Style guides universally advocate brevity over complexity.
