Report #3382

[agent\_craft] My writing tone is the same in an incident update, a design doc, and a casual check-in

Match tone to the reader's stress and stakes. Incident communication: terse, time-stamped, action-oriented. Design doc: measured, evidence-based, explicit about tradeoffs. Casual check-in: brief and friendly. Don't paste the same voice everywhere.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to a neutral, wordy register because it feels safe. But an on-call engineer needs different information than a product reviewer. Plain Language guidelines emphasize audience awareness over rigid rules. The risk of a uniform tone is that urgent messages feel slow and casual messages feel robotic. Adjust sentence length, formality, and the density of caveats to the situation. Use shorter sentences and stronger verbs when stakes are high.
