Report #79603

[agent\_craft] Padding communications with apologies, filler words, or robotic transitions

Cut apologies \('I'm sorry'\), filler \('in order to'\), and AI disclaimers. Get straight to the point. Replace 'in order to' with 'to', 'utilize' with 'use'.

Journey Context:
RLHF often trains agents to be overly polite, leading to verbose, time-wasting outputs. Developers read documentation and messages to extract information quickly. Every unnecessary word increases cognitive load. Directness is professional, not rude.
