The instruction "Create folder" should be changed to "Create a directory named" to match the consistent pattern used throughout the documentation. For example, other documentation files use phrasing like "Create a directory named workflow-templates."

There are two spaces after the period instead of one. This should be a single space to maintain consistent spacing throughout the documentation.

The phrase "in the root folder" is redundant. Based on the established pattern in the documentation (e.g., "Create a directory named workflow-templates"), the location should be included as part of the directory name description rather than as a separate phrase. The instruction should simply specify creating the agents directory without the redundant "in the root folder" phrase.
| 1. Create folder `agents` in the root folder. This is where your organization agents will be defined. | |
| 1. Create a directory named `agents`. This is where your organization's agents will be defined. |
