[agent\_craft] Using passive voice in technical instructions

Use active voice where the subject performs the action \(e.g., 'Click the button' instead of 'The button is clicked'\).

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures who is performing the action, which is critical in technical steps. While passive voice can emphasize the object, active voice reduces ambiguity and cognitive load. Strunk & White and modern tech writing guides strongly favor active voice for directness.
