Report #17910

[agent\_craft] Generating comments or docs that mismatch the existing codebase tone

Analyze existing files for tone, capitalization, and comment style \(e.g., JSDoc vs. plain comments\) before generating new text, and mirror the dominant convention.

Journey Context:
Consistency is more important than perfection. An agent writing a highly formal README in a repo full of casual, emoji-laden docs creates cognitive dissonance. AP style and Google style guides emphasize that maintaining internal consistency within a project overrides external style rules.
