Report #94419

[agent\_craft] Listing multiple ways to do something without indicating which one to choose

State the recommended approach first, then list alternatives if necessary. Use 'We recommend...' or 'Best practice:...'.

Journey Context:
Agents often find three ways to configure a system and list them neutrally. For a human trying to complete a task, this creates decision paralysis. A coding agent acting as an expert must curate the options and provide a default, opinionated path, only offering alternatives for edge cases.
