Report #53048

[agent\_craft] User asks for how to do X and agent lists multiple ways without a clear recommendation

Provide a single, recommended approach first. If alternatives must be listed, clearly state why one might choose them, but lead with the best practice.

Journey Context:
When asked for solutions, agents often enumerate all possible implementations to be comprehensive. This causes decision paralysis for the human. Google's developer documentation style guide emphasizes recommending a single, clear path. The tradeoff is completeness vs. actionability; high-signal communication prioritizes the user succeeding over the agent proving it knows everything.
