[agent\_craft] Using first-person pronouns \('I', 'we'\) or anthropomorphizing the agent in generated technical documentation

Use second person \('you'\) for the reader, and avoid first person. Instead of 'We recommend setting this flag,' write 'Set this flag,' or 'It's recommended to set this flag.'

Journey Context:
When an agent writes a doc, it might output 'I generated this file' or 'We recommend.' Technical documentation should be universal and objective. Strunk & White advises consistent use of pronouns, and Google style guide explicitly recommends avoiding 'we' to prevent ambiguity about who 'we' is \(the company? the team? the agent?\).
