Report #7205

[agent\_craft] Dumping bulleted or numbered lists without a grammatical introduction

Precede every list with a complete sentence ending in a colon. Ensure each list item is grammatically parallel with the introductory sentence.

Journey Context:
Agents often just start a list after a heading or fragment. This forces the reader to reverse-engineer the relationship between the intro and the items. A complete introductory sentence sets the context, and parallel structure \(e.g., all items starting with a verb\) makes the list predictable and easy to scan.
