[agent\_craft] Using passive voice in procedural documentation

Use active voice and imperative mood for instructions \(e.g., 'Click the button' instead of 'The button should be clicked'\).

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures the actor and makes sentences longer. In procedural writing, the reader is the actor. Active voice reduces cognitive load and aligns with standard dev-doc conventions, making it immediately clear what the user must do.
