Report #13727

[agent\_craft] Using words like 'simply', 'just', 'easy', or 'obviously' in instructions

Remove these words entirely. State the steps or facts plainly without qualitative modifiers.

Journey Context:
What is 'simple' to an experienced developer is often frustrating for a beginner. These words add zero technical information and invalidate the reader's struggle if they fail to understand. Removing them makes documentation more objective, accurate, and empathetic.
