[agent\_craft] Writing long, convoluted sentences with multiple clauses in technical documentation

Keep sentences under 25 words. One idea per sentence. If a sentence requires more than two commas, split it into two sentences.

Journey Context:
Complex sentences require the reader to hold multiple state variables in working memory to reach the end of the sentence. In technical contexts, where concepts are already dense, simple syntax prevents ambiguity. The tradeoff is a potentially choppy flow, but clarity trumps flow in dev docs.
