Report #7535

[agent\_craft] Using passive voice in step-by-step instructions

Use active voice and imperative mood for instructions. 'Click the button' instead of 'The button should be clicked'.

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures the actor. In code/docs, the user is the actor. Active voice reduces word count and cognitive load, making steps immediately actionable rather than descriptive.
