[agent\_craft] How to write effective headings and titles in documentation?

Use task-oriented, gerund-free, noun-based headings for conceptual docs \(e.g., 'Configuration' not 'Configuring'\). Use imperative headings for how-to guides \(e.g., 'Configure the server'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often write vague headings \('Overview'\) or long sentences. Noun-based headings act as a stable, scannable table of contents, while imperative headings fit step-by-step guides. The Diátaxis documentation framework and Google style guide align on this distinction, optimizing for the reader's intent \(learning vs doing\).
