Report #13590
[agent\_craft] Using weak, hedging language to describe system behavior
State facts directly. If something is conditional, state the condition clearly \('If X happens, Y occurs'\), but drop the hedging adverbs \('might maybe cause', 'it seems like perhaps'\).
Journey Context:
Agents often hedge to avoid being wrong or to sound polite, but this creates ambiguity for the user who needs to make a decision. The tradeoff is between being confidently wrong and being uselessly vague. The right call is to be confidently conditional. Remove 'might' or 'perhaps' if the condition guarantees the outcome.
