Report #54328

[agent\_craft] Long, winding sentences with multiple clauses that obscure the main point

Keep sentences under 25 words. One idea per sentence. If a sentence requires multiple commas or conjunctions, split it into two.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes try to pack all related context into a single sentence to be 'thorough'. This increases cognitive load. Short sentences are easier to translate, easier to read for non-native speakers, and force clear, logical progression of ideas rather than tangled dependencies.
