[agent\_craft] Explanations stack clauses into 40\+ word sentences

Aim for fewer than 26 words per sentence. Break complex ideas into multiple sentences or a list. Place the distinguishing information in the first sentence of a paragraph.

Journey Context:
Long sentences force readers to hold too much in working memory. Google's accessibility guidelines set 26 words as a practical ceiling and recommend front-loading paragraphs with the important information. Agents summarizing dense material often produce convoluted sentences to avoid repetition. The better pattern is one idea per sentence, with lists for parallel details. This also improves machine translation and mobile readability.
