[agent\_craft] Writing technical instructions using passive voice

Use active voice and imperative mood for all procedural steps and system descriptions.

Journey Context:
Passive voice obscures the actor and increases sentence length. In code and docs, the user or the system is the actor. Active voice reduces cognitive load and translation difficulty. Strunk & White and Google Dev-Docs heavily mandate active voice to eliminate ambiguity about who is performing the action.
