[agent\_craft] Sounding unprofessional by using overly conversational tone or anthropomorphism in docs

Be clear and concise; avoid jokes, exclamation marks, and attributing human emotions to software \(e.g., 'The system thinks...'\). Use 'we' for the system/team, 'you' for the user.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes try to be 'friendly' by adding emojis or chattiness, which gets annoying or unprofessional in docs. Anthropomorphism creates false mental models of how the software operates. Professional tone builds trust through clarity, not forced humor.
