[agent\_craft] Preventing misplaced modifiers in complex technical sentences

Place the modifier immediately adjacent to the word it modifies. If describing an action, ensure the subject of the participle phrase is the subject of the main clause.

Journey Context:
'Walking down the street, the trees were tall' implies the trees were walking. Agents construct complex sentences by combining clauses and often misplace adverbial phrases, leading to absurd or confusing technical instructions. Strunk & White mandates keeping related words together to prevent misinterpretation.
