[agent\_craft] Using future tense for instructions or documentation

Use present tense. Write 'Click the button' instead of 'You will click the button.'

Journey Context:
Present tense is more direct, shorter, and easier to read. Future tense adds unnecessary words and makes instructions feel less immediate. Strunk & White and the Google Dev-Doc style guide both strongly recommend present tense for technical instructions because the action happens as the user reads.
