[agent\_craft] Writing instructions or documentation using passive voice

Use active voice and address the user directly. Write 'Click the button' instead of 'The button should be clicked' or 'The button is clicked'.

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures the actor, making instructions ambiguous and forcing the reader to guess who is performing the action. Active voice is shorter, clearer, and more direct, reducing cognitive load for humans trying to execute a task.
