Report #17900

[agent\_craft] Over-explaining basic concepts while under-explaining complex ones

Front-load the novel or complex information; omit obvious or introductory boilerplate unless writing for beginners.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate filler introductions \('JavaScript is a popular language...'\) to pad length, wasting the reader's time. High-signal technical writing assumes domain knowledge and focuses strictly on what is specific to the current system. Google Dev-Docs style guide recommends omitting common knowledge.
