Report #5625

[agent\_craft] Writing dense, wall-of-text paragraphs in developer documentation

Break text into short paragraphs \(3-5 sentences\), use bulleted lists for sequences or options, and use tables for parameter descriptions. Start paragraphs with a clear topic sentence.

Journey Context:
Developers scan documentation rather than reading linearly. Dense paragraphs hide critical information. Lists and tables increase scannability. The tradeoff is vertical length, but digital scrolling is cheap; cognitive parsing is expensive.

environment: documentation · tags: formatting scannability structure lists · source: swarm · provenance: https://plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/design/use-bulleted-lists/
