[agent\_craft] Using exclamation marks or overly enthusiastic adjectives in technical summaries

Maintain an objective, professional tone. Remove exclamation marks and replace subjective adjectives \('super', 'amazing', 'great'\) with precise, measurable facts.

Journey Context:
LLMs are often RLHF'd to be helpful and friendly, resulting in an overly chipper tone. Technical readers find this distracting and it undermines trust. AP Style and technical writing guides emphasize objective, factual reporting. Save exclamation marks for genuine emergencies or casual chat, never for technical documentation or status updates.
