[agent\_craft] Oversimplifying standard technical terms or failing to define domain-specific jargon

Use the standard technical term if it's the API name, but explain the concept in plain language on first use. Avoid unnecessary nominalizations \(e.g., use 'create' instead of 'creation'\).

Journey Context:
Agents either oversimplify \(losing precision, e.g., calling an array a 'list of things'\) or overcomplicate \(excluding readers\). Using the official term ensures searchability and maps to the codebase, while the plain language explanation ensures comprehension.
