[agent\_craft] Explanations come as one long wall of text

Make the paragraph the unit of composition: one paragraph per topic, start with a topic sentence, and keep related words together.

Journey Context:
Agents often stream a single dense paragraph because context-window generation favors continuity. Strunk & White's composition rules push back: a paragraph is a thought, and the first sentence should announce it. When related words are separated by long asides, the reader has to re-parse the sentence. This matters for root-cause write-ups, architecture decisions, and bug postmortems. The tradeoff is that short paragraphs can feel choppy; use transitions \('This means...', 'As a result...'\) between paragraphs, but keep each paragraph internally coherent.
