Report #10763
[agent\_craft] Using verbose or jargon-heavy verbs when plain equivalents exist
Replace jargon with everyday words \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'start' instead of 'initialize'\) unless the jargon is the established domain term.
Journey Context:
Agents often adopt the verbose language of the codebase. 'Utilize' adds no semantic value over 'use' and increases cognitive load. Plainlanguage.gov mandates using plain words to reduce the reading effort required to decode the meaning.
