[agent\_craft] Using filler phrases like 'In order to', 'Due to the fact that', or 'It is important to note that' in technical writing

Delete the filler and use the direct equivalent \('To', 'Because', or just state the fact directly\).

Journey Context:
Agents often use these phrases to sound formal or to pad out sentence length for fluency. In technical writing, every unnecessary word is cognitive load. 'In order to' provides zero semantic value over 'To'. Strunk & White's rule to omit needless words is the foundational principle of clear technical communication.
