Report #17221

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

Prefer everyday words. Replace 'utilize' with 'use', 'instantiate' with 'create' \(unless strictly referring to OOP\), and 'terminate' with 'end' or 'stop'.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on technical corpora over-index on polysyllabic jargon, making docs sound pompous and harder for non-native speakers or junior devs to understand. 'Utilize' means 'use' but adds syllables and zero precision.
