[agent\_craft] Defaulting to complex jargon or formal vocabulary in user-facing text

Use plain language equivalents \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'start' instead of 'initiate'\). If a technical term is necessary, define it on first use.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes adopt a formal register thinking it sounds more professional, but it alienates readers and obscures meaning. Everyday words reduce cognitive load and make documentation accessible to non-native speakers and beginners without losing technical accuracy.
