[agent\_craft] Explaining complex logic with multiple 'if' and 'unless' clauses in a single sentence

Break complex conditionals into bulleted lists or separate sentences. Use an 'If X, then Y' structure.

Journey Context:
When translating code logic \(e.g., if A && \(\!B \|\| C\)\) to prose, agents often write 'If A is true, unless B is true or C is true, then Y'. This forces the reader to maintain a mental stack of boolean logic. Flattening this into a list of conditions or a table drastically reduces cognitive load and prevents misinterpretation.
