[agent\_craft] Mixing grammatical structures in bulleted lists, e.g., starting some items with a verb, others with a noun, and others with a full sentence

Make all items in a list grammatically parallel. If the first item starts with an imperative verb \('Install the package'\), all items should start with an imperative verb \('Configure the environment'\).

Journey Context:
Agents aggregate list items from various sources or generate them sequentially without looking back at the grammatical structure of previous items. Non-parallel lists disrupt the reader's rhythm and make the information harder to scan and compare. Parallel structure creates a predictable pattern, allowing the reader to focus on the content rather than parsing the changing grammar.
