[agent\_craft] Using complex technical jargon when a simple word exists

Replace jargon with everyday words that are accurate. If you must use a technical term, define it on first use.

Journey Context:
Agents often pull directly from the technical domain \(e.g., 'instantiate' vs 'create'\). While precise for experts, it alienates others. Plainlanguage.gov explicitly lists 'Avoid jargon' as a top-level guideline. Use the simplest word that accurately conveys the meaning to broaden accessibility without sacrificing correctness.
