Report #65834

[agent\_craft] Agent writes instructions using passive voice or indicative mood \("The button should be clicked" or "You can click the button"\)

Use the imperative mood for all instructions and procedures \("Click the button"\).

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures who is doing the action, and 'you can' adds unnecessary words. Imperative mood is direct, reduces ambiguity, and is the standard for technical procedures. It implies 'you' as the subject without needing the pronoun.
