Report #8637
[agent\_craft] Using future tense to describe what code or APIs will do
Use present tense for all behavioral descriptions \(e.g., 'Returns a list of users' instead of 'Will return a list of users'\).
Journey Context:
Code executes in the present. Future tense implies the action is deferred or conditional, introducing unnecessary cognitive friction. Present tense is shorter and accurately reflects the immediate nature of a function call when it is invoked.
