Report #6985

[agent\_craft] Using 'allows you to' or 'enables the user to' in API documentation

Use 'lets you' or rewrite to focus directly on the action \(e.g., 'You can...' or 'Use X to...'\).

Journey Context:
'Allows you to' is wordy and less direct. 'Lets' is shorter and more conversational without losing professionalism. Removing the perimetric framing entirely \('Use X to Y'\) is even stronger because it centers the user's action rather than the system's permission.
