I think this requirement raises the bar impossibly high.  You cannot
have a useful set of instructions that leave those out.  E.g., this
whole discussion started because of such "nitpicking".

Neither do I see why would we need to restrict ourselves like that.  A
document with a clear structure and a list of topics at the beginning
can be longish and still useful.  OTOH, having instructions scattered
over several files makes discovery harder.
