[agent\_craft] How to present multiple implementation options without causing analysis paralysis

Never just list options. State the recommended option first, explain why it is preferred for the current context, and then list alternatives only if necessary.

Journey Context:
When asked 'How do I do X?', agents often enumerate every possible way \(A, B, C\) to be comprehensive. This forces the human to do the evaluation work the agent could have done. High-signal communication requires the agent to apply its knowledge of best practices \(e.g., security, performance, maintainability\) to make a recommendation, acting as an advisor, not just an index.
