Report #6302
[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe system behavior in documentation
Use present tense for all descriptions of system behavior. Write 'Clicking the button opens the dialog' instead of 'Clicking the button will open the dialog'.
Journey Context:
Present tense is shorter, more direct, and easier to translate. Future tense implies the action might not happen or is delayed. In technical docs, if the user does X, Y happens immediately.
