Report #47840

[agent\_craft] Using nominalizations \('make a calculation', 'perform an assessment'\) instead of strong verbs

Use the strong verb directly \('calculate', 'assess'\).

Journey Context:
Nominalizations hide the action, make sentences longer, and require extra helper verbs. Agents generating docs often pick nominalizations because they sound 'formal,' but they reduce clarity and increase cognitive load. 'Calculate the value' is stronger and more concise than 'Perform a calculation of the value.'
