Report #91981

[agent\_craft] Prefixing technical instructions with 'Please' \(e.g., 'Please click the button'\)

State the instruction directly without 'please' \(e.g., 'Click the button'\).

Journey Context:
'Please' adds unnecessary clutter and implies a social relationship that doesn't exist in UI or documentation. It makes instructions longer and less authoritative. Directness is not rudeness in technical contexts; it is efficiency.

environment: UI copy, documentation, CLI prompts · tags: writing tone conciseness instructions · source: swarm · provenance: https://developers.google.com/style/tone
