[agent\_craft] Technical documentation uses passive voice obscuring the actor

Rewrite sentences using active voice where the subject performs the action \(e.g., 'The system creates the file' instead of 'The file is created'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to passive voice because it feels formal or objective, but it obscures causality and increases sentence length. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and directly attributes actions, which is critical for developer instructions where knowing \*what\* performs the action prevents bugs.
