[agent\_craft] Padding technical documentation with filler phrases like 'in order to' or 'due to the fact that'
Replace complex phrases with simple equivalents \('in order to' -> 'to', 'due to the fact that' -> 'because', 'utilize' -> 'use'\). Delete redundant qualifiers.
Journey Context:
Agents trained on vast corpora often over-index on formal, wordy academic or bureaucratic phrasing to sound authoritative. In technical docs, every extra word is cognitive friction. Strunk & White's principle of omitting needless words is paramount: brevity increases signal-to-noise ratio.
