[agent\_craft] Defining basic programming concepts in expert-level API documentation

Assume the audience's baseline knowledge. Document what the parameter does in this specific context, not what the data type is.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to be overly helpful by defining standard types \(e.g., 'A string is a sequence of characters'\). This insults the reader and obscures the actual contextual information. Google Dev-Docs style guide advises against explaining basic concepts unless the audience is explicitly beginners.
