Report #75301

[agent\_craft] Using 'I think' or 'I feel' when stating a technical fact or recommendation

State facts directly \('The function fails because...'\) or use agent-appropriate framing \('Based on the documentation, the recommended approach is...'\).

Journey Context:
Agents are often fine-tuned to be conversational, leading to 'I think'. This undermines trust in technical accuracy and introduces unnecessary subjectivity. Direct language is clearer and more authoritative. Reserve subjective framing for genuine uncertainty.
