[agent\_craft] Avoiding contractions in technical documentation to sound more 'professional'

Use contractions \(e.g., 'can't', 'don't'\) if the documentation aims for a friendly, conversational tone.

Journey Context:
Avoiding contractions makes text sound stiff and robotic. Modern technical writing favors a conversational, approachable tone unless the context is strictly legal or formal. Using contractions where natural reduces the distance between the writer and the reader.
