[agent\_craft] Passive voice obscures the actor in instructions or commit messages
Rewrite sentences to name the subject performing the action \(e.g., 'The system logs the error' instead of 'The error is logged by the system'\).
Journey Context:
Passive voice is common in academic writing but terrible for technical instructions. It forces the reader to guess who does what, increasing cognitive load. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and directly tells the human or agent what action to take or what entity is responsible.
