Report #71486

[agent\_craft] Using passive voice in instructional or technical documentation

Write in active voice. Name the actor performing the action \(e.g., 'The system deletes the file' instead of 'The file is deleted'\).

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures who or what performs an action, forcing the reader to guess. In technical docs, ambiguity leads to incorrect implementation. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and directly attributes responsibility, which is critical for troubleshooting and system understanding.
