[agent\_craft] Using weak qualifiers like "basically", "actually", "simply", or "just" in technical documentation

Remove the qualifier entirely. State the fact directly.

Journey Context:
Words like "simply" or "just" assume the reader's level of understanding and can feel condescending if the concept is actually complex. "Basically" and "actually" add no semantic value. Strunk & White's principle of omitting needless words applies strictly here. If a process is simple, the clear explanation will prove it; asserting its simplicity does not make it so.
