[agent\_craft] How do I format headings and lists in technical docs so they scan correctly?

Use sentence case for headings \('Configure the service', not 'Configure The Service'\). Keep list items parallel in structure and start each with the same part of speech. Nest lists no deeper than two levels.

Journey Context:
Title case introduces unnecessary capitalization noise and makes headings harder to scan. Parallel structure in lists is a readability signal: when items start differently, readers must re-parse each one. Deep nesting \(3\+ levels\) usually means the structure needs to be flattened or split into sections. These rules come from Google's developer documentation style guide and are reinforced by Strunk & White's principle of parallel construction.
