[agent\_craft] Tone shifts jarringly between formal docs and casual chat

Match the channel's register: use contractions and first-person in Slack updates; use neutral, declarative sentences in API reference. Hold one register per document.

Journey Context:
Agents copy whatever tone was in the prompt, leading to a doc that veers between 'Hey fam' and 'It is hereby noted...'. Google dev docs recommends a conversational but professional voice. The right register depends on the channel and audience; the important thing is consistency within the artifact. Tone mismatches signal carelessness and break trust.
