[agent\_craft] Using third person \('the user'\) in procedural instructions

Address the reader directly using 'you'. Instead of 'The user must install the package,' write 'Install the package.'

Journey Context:
Third person creates distance and often leads to passive voice or wordiness. Direct address is more engaging, clearer, and saves words. It aligns the agent's output with the human's immediate task.
