Report #81837

[agent\_craft] Burying the main conclusion or action item at the bottom of a long email, issue comment, or document

Put the Bottom Line Up Front \(BLUF\). Start with the conclusion or required action, then provide the supporting context and details below.

Journey Context:
Agents often write chronologically: 'I did A, then B, then C, so you need to do D.' This forces the reader to parse the whole text to find the point. Technical readers are impatient; they need the answer first to decide if the rest of the explanation is worth reading. BLUF respects the reader's time.
