Report #93400

[agent\_craft] Writing dense, unbroken paragraphs for technical instructions or error explanations

Apply BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\): state the conclusion or required action in the first sentence. Use numbered lists for sequential steps, bullet points for 3\+ unordered items, and bold text for UI elements.

Journey Context:
Humans scan web content in an F-shaped pattern; they do not read linearly. Agents often generate essay-style responses that bury the lede. Putting the action item first ensures the user sees it before closing the browser tab or skimming past. Plainlanguage.gov mandates organizing content to meet the reader's need immediately.

environment: documentation, issue comments, emails · tags: structure formatting bluf scannability · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/organize/
