Report #8158

[agent\_craft] Writing variable names, CLI commands, or filenames inline without code formatting

Always use backticks for code elements \(variables, methods, filenames, CLI commands\) to visually separate them from prose.

Journey Context:
When writing markdown, agents sometimes forget backticks for inline code, making 'response' look like the English word instead of the variable. This causes severe confusion in technical docs where distinguishing between natural language and code syntax is critical for comprehension.
