[agent\_craft] Using 'we' or 'I' in technical documentation

Address the user as 'you' and refer to the product in the third person. Replace 'We recommend' with 'Recommend:' or 'It is recommended to'.

Journey Context:
Using 'we' is ambiguous—does it mean the author, the team, or the company? It shifts focus to the author rather than the user's task. Third-person references keep the focus on the product and the user's interaction with it, preventing confusion about who is performing the action.
