[agent\_craft] How to structure long technical documents so humans can scan them
Use descriptive headings, bulleted lists for choices, and tables for parameters. Front-load the most important information or the main goal at the beginning of the section.
Journey Context:
Agents often write in narrative paragraphs because they generate sequentially. Humans scan docs in an F-pattern, looking for keywords. Narrative text hides critical steps. Breaking text into lists and descriptive headings allows a human to find the exact step they need without reading the whole page.
