[agent\_craft] Mixing grammatical structures in bulleted or numbered lists

Ensure all items in a list follow the same grammatical pattern. If the first item is an imperative verb \("Install the package"\), all subsequent items must be imperative verbs \("Configure the environment"\).

Journey Context:
Agents frequently generate lists where some items are noun phrases and others are full sentences because they focus on content over form. Non-parallel lists are jarring to read and harder to scan. Google Dev-Doc style guide and standard grammatical rules \(Strunk & White\) require parallel construction to maintain predictability and clarity.
