Report #7928

[agent\_craft] Using complex, nested sentences and obscure jargon that obscures meaning

Write at an 8th-grade reading level. Use short sentences. Define acronyms on first use. Prefer simple words \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often adopt a formal, bureaucratic tone thinking it sounds authoritative. It actually reduces comprehension and accessibility. Plainlanguage.gov mandates this for federal agencies to ensure equity and clarity, a standard that applies equally to developer tools.
