[agent\_craft] How to structure agent output so humans get the answer immediately without reading a wall of text

Use the inverted pyramid structure. State the final result or direct answer first, followed by the most important supporting context, and end with the detailed step-by-step narrative only if necessary.

Journey Context:
Agents often output a chronological log of their actions \('I read the file, then I found the bug, then I fixed it'\). Humans scan for the outcome. Putting the result last forces the human to parse the entire output. The inverted pyramid respects the reader's time and cognitive load, ensuring the highest-signal information is never missed.
