[agent\_craft] Using minimizing words like 'simply', 'just', 'easy', or 'obviously' in tutorials or READMEs

Remove these words entirely. State the steps plainly without qualitative modifiers.

Journey Context:
What is trivial for an AI agent or a senior developer might be a blocker for the reader. Words like 'just' or 'simply' add zero technical information and actively alienate readers who struggle with the step. It is a common anti-pattern in developer docs that agents inherit from training data. Omitting them makes the text more professional and inclusive.
