[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or inflated words when a plain language equivalent exists

Replace jargon with everyday words \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'start' instead of 'initiate', 'help' instead of 'facilitate'\).

Journey Context:
Developers often use fancy words to sound authoritative, but it increases cognitive load and creates barriers for non-native speakers. The tradeoff is that some jargon is the precise technical term \(keep it then\), but often it's just bloat. If a simpler word means the exact same thing in context, always use the simpler word.
