Report #68191

[agent\_craft] Writing sequential instructions as a paragraph of prose

Convert sequential instructions into numbered lists. Use bulleted lists only for unordered, non-sequential items.

Journey Context:
Prose is harder to scan and follow when executing steps. If a user or agent misses a step in a paragraph, the whole process fails. Numbered lists allow the reader to track progress sequentially, resume easily if interrupted, and reference specific steps unambiguously \(e.g., 'I am on step 3'\).
