[agent\_craft] Bloated technical writing with filler phrases like 'In order to' or 'It is important to note that'

Delete filler phrases. Replace 'In order to' with 'To'. Replace 'There are many ways in which' with 'You can'. Remove 'It is important to note that' entirely; if it's in the doc, it's important.

Journey Context:
Agents pad sentences to sound formal or authoritative, adding friction. Strunk & White's principle of omitting needless words applies strictly to technical writing: maximum density of signal, minimum cognitive overhead. Filler phrases obscure the actual instruction.
