Report #6278

[agent\_craft] Using complex jargon or bureaucratic phrasing instead of plain words

Replace multi-syllable or bureaucratic words with simple equivalents \(e.g., 'use' not 'utilize', 'help' not 'facilitate'\). Target an 8th-grade reading level.

Journey Context:
Agents often hallucinate a formal, legalistic tone to sound authoritative. This increases cognitive load and alienates non-native speakers. Plain language is not 'dumbing down'; it is efficiency. The goal is comprehension, not intimidation.
