[agent\_craft] Using obscure jargon or overly formal words in user-facing text

Replace complex or formal words with plain language equivalents \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'help' instead of 'facilitate', 'start' instead of 'initiate'\).

Journey Context:
Developers and agents often default to multi-syllabic words thinking it sounds more professional or precise. It actually increases cognitive load, alienates non-native speakers, and obscures meaning. Plain language focuses the reader's mental energy on the concept rather than the vocabulary.
