[agent\_craft] Using minimizing words like 'simply' or 'just' in technical writing

Remove words like 'simply', 'just', 'easy', 'obviously', or 'merely' from instructions and documentation.

Journey Context:
What is simple for the author is often frustrating for the reader facing an undocumented prerequisite or edge case. These words invalidate the reader's struggle and add zero technical information. Removing them makes the tone objective and professional.
