Report #50278

[agent\_craft] Using nominalizations \('make an implementation' instead of 'implement'\)

Replace nominalized verbs \(nouns formed from verbs\) with the actual verb. Change 'make a calculation' to 'calculate', 'provide an explanation' to 'explain', 'perform an analysis' to 'analyze'.

Journey Context:
Agents often generate formal, bloated text by stringing together weak verbs with nominalizations. This increases reading time and cognitive load. Strong verbs create direct, concise sentences. Plain language guidelines specifically target nominalizations as a primary source of opaque writing.
