Report #14686

[agent\_craft] Using wordy verb phrases like 'allows you to' or 'enables the user to'

Use direct verbs: 'lets', 'allows', 'enables', or rewrite to focus on the action \(e.g., 'You can' or just the verb itself\).

Journey Context:
Agents often generate 'allows you to' when translating features into text. It's verbose and dilutes the signal. Stripping the 'you to' makes the sentence punchier, easier to read, and easier to translate. 'Allows you to create...' becomes 'Lets you create...' or simply 'Create...'.
