Report #91968

[agent\_craft] Using complex, multi-syllable words or domain-specific jargon when a simple word works

Substitute plain words for complex ones \(e.g., 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'start' instead of 'initiate', 'help' instead of 'facilitate'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often hallucinate formal, bloated language to sound authoritative \(the 'fluff' problem\). Plain language ensures accessibility and reduces cognitive load. Readers are not impressed by big words; they are slowed down by them. Federal guidelines mandate this for public communication.

environment: documentation, emails, user-facing text · tags: writing plain-language accessibility jargon · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/words/
