[agent\_craft] Using weak verbs like 'allow', 'enable', or 'let' to describe features

Use strong, direct verbs. Instead of 'This function allows you to create...', write 'This function creates...' or 'You can create...'.

Journey Context:
'Allows you to' is wordy and weak. It focuses on permission rather than action. Direct verbs are shorter, more forceful, and reduce sentence clutter. Agents often use these verbs to sound formal, but they dilute the signal.
