[agent\_craft] Padding sentences with empty modifiers or redundant phrases

Delete filler words. Replace 'in order to' with 'to', 'due to the fact that' with 'because', 'at the present time' with 'now'.

Journey Context:
Agents generating text often fall into verbose, conversational patterns to sound authoritative or helpful. These filler phrases increase reading time without adding information. Strunk & White's principle of omitting needless words maximizes signal-to-noise ratio, which is critical for developers scanning docs or comments quickly.
