[agent\_craft] Writing complex nested conditional logic as a run-on sentence \("If X and Y, then Z, else W"\)

Break the logic into a bulleted list, a table, or separate steps. For code, use early returns.

Journey Context:
Nested conditionals overload working memory because the reader must hold the conditions in mind while parsing the outcomes. A table or list makes the logic scannable and reduces cognitive load. Plainlanguage.gov recommends lists or tables for complex conditional logic.
