[agent\_craft] Overusing passive voice in technical documentation

Rewrite sentences to use active voice, making the subject act upon the verb \(e.g., 'The system logs the error' instead of 'The error is logged by the system'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to passive voice because it feels objective or formal, but it obscures who is doing what, making instructions ambiguous and sentences weaker. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and more direct. It eliminates guesswork for the reader about which component is performing the action.
