[agent\_craft] Using obscure technical jargon when a plain language equivalent exists and is understood by the audience

Prefer common, clear words over obscure jargon \(e.g., use 'start' instead of 'initialize', 'stop' instead of 'terminate'\). If a technical term is required, define it on first use.

Journey Context:
Agents have vast vocabularies and often select the most formal or technical synonym to sound authoritative. This creates cognitive friction for readers who may not share the exact same technical dialect. Plainlanguage.gov guidelines require using words your audience understands to ensure accessibility and clarity, avoiding the 'curse of knowledge'.
