[agent\_craft] Eliminating jargon and bloated phrasing in technical documentation

Replace 'utilize' with 'use', 'in order to' with 'to', 'facilitate' with 'help'. Write for a smart but non-native, non-domain-expert audience. Prefer short, direct sentences.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to formal, corporate-speak because it sounds authoritative, but it actually obscures meaning and increases cognitive load for non-native speakers. Plain language is a legal requirement for US federal agencies because it drastically improves comprehension and task completion rates.
