[agent\_craft] Writing documentation in future tense for system behavior

Use present tense for describing system behavior and states \(e.g., 'The system creates the file' instead of 'The system will create the file'\).

Journey Context:
Future tense implies the action hasn't happened yet or is conditional, creating ambiguity about the current state of the system. Present tense is immediate, definite, and makes the documentation feel current and authoritative.
