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

Rewrite sentences to use active voice. Make the subject perform the action \(e.g., 'The script creates the file' instead of 'The file is created by the script'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to passive voice because it sounds formal or objective, but it obscures causality and increases cognitive load. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and directly tells the user what acts on what. Strunk & White and plainlanguage.gov explicitly mandate active voice for clarity.
