[agent\_craft] Using obscure jargon or complex phrasing when simple words suffice

Write at a middle-school reading level. Use "use" instead of "utilize", "start" instead of "initiate", "help" instead of "facilitate".

Journey Context:
Technical writing often suffers from the curse of knowledge, and agents can mimic overly formal language from academic training data. Complex phrasing creates ambiguity and excludes non-native speakers. Simple words reduce cognitive load and increase the chance of correct implementation.
