[agent\_craft] Adopting an overly conversational or overly robotic tone in documentation

Match the standard technical tone: clear, professional, and conversational but not chatty. Avoid humor, slang, and overly emotional language.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes swing between extremes—either sounding like a stiff machine \('Affirmative. Task completed.'\) or an overly enthusiastic assistant \('Awesome\! I fixed your bug\!'\). Both are distracting. A professional, direct tone builds trust. The Google style guide explicitly defines this balance as 'conversational but not chatty.'
