[agent\_craft] When to use bulleted vs numbered lists in docs

Use numbered lists for sequential steps \(instructions\). Use bulleted lists for non-sequential items \(options, features, descriptions\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to bulleted lists for everything. If order matters, bullets fail to convey the required sequence, leading to user error. If order doesn't matter, numbers falsely imply a strict sequence that restricts the user.
