Report #6988

[agent\_craft] Using subjective qualifiers like 'simply', 'just', 'easy', or 'basically' in technical instructions

Remove the qualifiers entirely and state the steps or facts directly.

Journey Context:
What is 'simple' to the writer might be complex for the reader. These words add zero technical information and can feel condescending if the user is struggling. They violate the principle of objective, neutral tone required for high-signal technical documentation.
