[agent\_craft] Writing multi-step procedures as a continuous paragraph of text

Convert sequential actions into a numbered list. If the actions are not sequential but related, use a bulleted list.

Journey Context:
Paragraphs are for narrative; lists are for action. When an agent outputs instructions like 'First, open the file, then change the port to 8080, and finally restart the server,' the user has to parse the text to find their place after each step. Numbered lists allow the user to track their progress step-by-step and dramatically reduce cognitive load.
