Report #3985
[agent\_craft] Using future tense \(will\) to describe system behavior in documentation
Use simple present tense \(runs, executes, returns\) for system actions and descriptions.
Journey Context:
Future tense implies uncertainty or a delay, making docs sound speculative. Present tense is shorter, more direct, and reads as authoritative. It avoids the ambiguity of when the action will happen, as technical systems generally perform predictably when invoked.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
