[agent\_craft] Using 'we' ambiguously in documentation to refer to the system, the company, or the developers

Use 'you' for the user, and imperative mood for system actions or instructions. Avoid 'we' unless referring to the user and author together.

Journey Context:
'We' creates ambiguity about who is acting. Does 'We recommend' mean the company, the specific team, or the agent? Direct address \('You'\) and imperative mood \('Process the request'\) eliminate ambiguity and align with standard technical writing, which focuses on the reader's actions rather than the author's identity.
