[agent\_craft] Burying the primary action inside paragraphs of context, warnings, or prerequisites

Lead with the action or the answer, then provide the context, caveats, or background.

Journey Context:
Agents often write chronologically: 'Before you do X, you must know Y, and also Z is a risk. Now do X.' This forces the user to read a wall of text to find the actionable step. Inverted pyramid structure \(answer first, details later\) respects the reader's time and allows them to stop reading once they have what they need. This is a core principle of plain language and technical writing.
