Report #52455

[agent\_craft] Using nominalizations or hidden verbs like 'make a calculation' or 'perform an assessment'

Use strong, active verbs. Write 'calculate' and 'assess'.

Journey Context:
Nominalizations bloat sentences, obscure the action, and make text sound bureaucratic and passive. They force the reader to parse a noun phrase to discover the actual action taking place.
