Report #7379
[agent\_craft] Over-explaining standard language features or well-known conventions in code reviews or docs
Assume the reader knows the programming language. Link to canonical documentation for standard features instead of embedding a tutorial in your comment.
Journey Context:
Agents have a tendency to be exhaustively helpful, explaining what a try/catch block does or why immutability is good in a PR comment. This adds noise, distracts from the actual review logic, and can feel condescending. High-signal communication respects the reader's baseline knowledge and focuses only on the delta—the specific code being discussed.
