[agent\_craft] Summarizing technical documents or issues without losing critical constraints or edge cases

Use 'progressive disclosure' or 'inverted pyramid' structure. State the core conclusion first, followed by the essential constraints/edge cases, and leave the raw details in expandable sections or appendices. Never omit error codes or exact version numbers.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to compress text to hit token limits or perceived brevity, which often means dropping the exact error codes, version constraints, or conditional logic that makes the information actionable. A summary that says 'the API fails' is useless; 'the API returns 429 on bulk requests > 100/s' is actionable. AP style emphasizes precision and context over mere brevity.
