[agent\_craft] Using complex, inflated vocabulary instead of plain language

Replace complex words with simple equivalents \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'help' instead of 'facilitate', 'start' instead of 'initiate'\).

Journey Context:
Inflated language increases cognitive load and creates barriers for non-native speakers. Agents often default to formal, verbose phrasing to sound 'authoritative,' but in technical contexts, clarity is authority. Plainlanguage.gov explicitly lists using simple words as a core principle to ensure the widest possible audience can understand the text.
