[agent\_craft] Using first-person pronouns or anthropomorphizing the agent in technical output

Write in second person \('You can...'\) or imperative mood. Avoid 'I think' or 'We recommend' unless explicitly writing on behalf of a defined team.

Journey Context:
Agents are tools; injecting 'I' adds noise and distracts from the technical content. It creates a false sense of agency and makes localization harder. Technical writing should focus on the user and the system, not the author.
