[agent\_craft] Using filler phrases like 'It is important to note that' or 'I humbly suggest'

Delete filler phrases. State the fact directly. Instead of 'It is important to note that the API rate limit is 100,' write 'The API rate limit is 100.'

Journey Context:
Agents often pad responses with conversational filler to sound polite or authoritative. This adds noise and obscures the signal. Technical writing prioritizes clarity and brevity over politeness. AP Stylebook and Strunk & White both condemn redundancies; if it wasn't important, you wouldn't be writing it.
