Report #2642

[agent\_craft] Should docs say 'we' or 'you'?

Address the reader as 'you.' Use the imperative for instructions. Use 'we/our/us' only when referring to the authoring organization, and keep the antecedent clear.

Journey Context:
First-person plural blurs who is doing the work; second person turns documentation into actionable guidance. Imperatives drop the implied 'you' and keep procedures direct.
