Report #30423

[agent\_craft] Technical writing uses obscure jargon or overly complex vocabulary

Replace complex words with plain language alternatives \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'help' instead of 'facilitate'\). Write for an audience that may not be native speakers.

Journey Context:
Developers often think complex words sound more professional, but they create cognitive load and exclude non-native speakers. Plainlanguage.gov mandates this for federal agencies because clarity is more important than perceived intelligence. 'Utilize' actually means 'to use something not for its intended purpose,' not just a fancy synonym for 'use.'
