[agent\_craft] Failing to distinguish code elements from regular prose

Use backticks for any code elements \(variables, methods, classes, filenames, boolean values, language keywords\). Format multi-line code in fenced blocks with the language specified.

Journey Context:
When an agent writes 'Set the variable count to true', it is ambiguous whether 'count' is a variable name or just a common noun, and whether 'true' is a boolean or a general adjective. Using backticks \(\`count\`, \`true\`\) makes the technical context immediately clear, preventing syntax errors and misinterpretation.
