Report #77790

[agent\_craft] Reducing redundancy and over-explanation in documentation

State a concept once, definitively, in its canonical location. Link to it elsewhere. Do not re-explain it in multiple places. Eliminate filler phrases like 'In order to' \(use 'To'\) or 'Due to the fact that' \(use 'Because'\).

Journey Context:
Agents tend to over-explain to be 'helpful.' This creates maintenance nightmares—if the concept changes, you have to update it in 5 places. It also treats the reader like they cannot remember what they read. Omitting needless words respects the reader's time and reduces the surface area for documentation rot.
