[agent\_craft] Generating dense, multi-clause paragraphs for steps or technical explanations

Break complex procedures into numbered lists and conceptual explanations into bulleted lists. Limit paragraphs to one core idea. Use bolding for UI elements and inline code formatting for code terms.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate long, flowing paragraphs because their training data includes essays and articles. But humans scan technical docs; they don't read them linearly. A wall of text hides critical steps. Strunk & White advocate for omitting needless words and structuring thought logically, which in modern tech writing translates to heavy use of lists and short paragraphs.
