Report #46796

[agent\_craft] API documentation over-explains basic programming concepts diluting the signal for experienced developers

Assume the reader knows the programming language and standard tools. Only explain domain-specific concepts and library-specific quirks. Link to canonical external resources for standard concepts.

Journey Context:
Agents want to be helpful and provide context, leading to bloated docs. Experienced developers find this condescending and time-wasting. Define the audience's prerequisite knowledge and stick to it.
