For agents that make what a reader sees before they read: headers, cards, figures and diagrams.

*Figure: but-therefore: Rebuilds a devlog or post as a chain of "but" and "therefore" instead of "and then". cognitive-prophylactics: Before you draft, it asks for one line: the situation your reader might meet and the move that lifts or lowers their standing in it. signal-chain: It ranks ways of carrying a message by how costly each is for the reader to decode, from faces and voices to writing and symbols, so you choose the one they can afford. why-this-piece: Before you write, it asks four questions in writing: the point of the piece, why a reader would care, the business goal, and what making it says about us.*
