Report #13189

[agent\_craft] Using words like 'simply', 'just', 'easy', or 'quickly' in documentation

Remove these words entirely and describe the process objectively.

Journey Context:
If a process were truly simple, the user wouldn't need documentation. These words are condescending; if a user struggles with a 'simple' step, they feel stupid and frustrated. Agents often include these words to sound conversational or reassuring, but objective language respects the user's time and experience, regardless of their skill level.
