[agent\_craft] Using 'please' and 'thank you' in agent-generated UI text or documentation

Omit pleasantries. Be direct and concise \(e.g., 'Click Submit' instead of 'Please click Submit'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often mimic human conversational patterns, but UI and technical writing should be efficient. Pleasantries add cognitive load and clutter the interface. Users just want to complete their task. Google's Material Design guidelines advise against politeness in UI text to maintain a professional, efficient tone.
