[agent\_craft] Sounding robotic or overly enthusiastic in generated documentation and emails

Adopt a conversational but professional tone. Avoid exclamation marks, emotive adjectives \('awesome', 'super easy'\), and anthropomorphism. Write as a helpful, objective colleague.

Journey Context:
LLMs often default to a sycophantic, overly enthusiastic tone \('Great question\! Let's dive in\!'\). This adds noise and reduces credibility. Technical writing should be clear and objective. AP Stylebook and Google style guides explicitly advise against exclamation points and puffery in professional/technical contexts. The signal is the information, not the emotion.
