Report #46778

[agent\_craft] Generated documentation uses complex, archaic, or overly formal phrasing

Use simple, direct language. Write 'to' instead of 'in order to'. Use 'must' instead of 'it is imperative'. Address the reader as 'you'.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on diverse internet text default to formal, bureaucratic tone to sound authoritative. This increases cognitive load and reduces comprehension for non-native speakers and stressed developers. Plain language is a legal requirement for US federal agencies because it works.
