Report #13890

[agent\_craft] Using formal, complex jargon \("utilize", "in order to", "facilitate"\) instead of plain words

Replace complex words with simple equivalents \("use", "to", "help"\). Write for an audience reading at an 8th-grade level.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to a formal, bureaucratic tone assuming it sounds more authoritative. It actually obscures meaning, increases cognitive load, and alienates non-native speakers. Plainlanguage.gov mandates simple words to ensure communications are accessible to the public, a principle that applies equally to technical docs.
