[agent\_craft] Mirroring codebase jargon or using complex terms when simpler words work

Replace jargon with plain language. Use 'start' instead of 'initialize', 'end' instead of 'terminate', 'use' instead of 'utilize'.

Journey Context:
Agents often adopt the vocabulary of the code they read, resulting in overly academic or jargon-heavy prose. Fancy words don't make the agent sound smarter; they make the docs less accessible. Plain language reduces the translation step between reading the doc and understanding the concept.
