[agent\_craft] Using complex, multi-syllable words or bureaucratic jargon instead of plain language

Replace complex words with simple equivalents \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'help' instead of 'facilitate', 'start' instead of 'initiate'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to a formal, bureaucratic tone that sounds authoritative but obscures meaning. Plain language reduces cognitive friction and makes documentation accessible to non-native speakers and stressed developers. The goal is clarity, not sounding smart.
